I had a cough that was annoying. I would cough sometimes until I threw up. I coughed every day. People would look at me as if i had an contagious disease. I went to a allergist for 3 years getting immunology shots. 3 years. I kept telling the doctors it had to be something else. The shots weren't working. The allegist kept saying it can take many years. I had chest xrays and other test but they all came back normal. I was given cough syrup with codeine but I became addicted. I had my gall bladder removed and the coughing stopped but that's when the pathologist found amyloidosis. Then my liver became enlarged, I had part of it removed and they found amyloid there too. I haven't coughed since. I truly believe amyloid was responsible for my cough
