I am not positive this is spelled correctly, but I am looking for more information on it. It's supposedly sort of like asthma, but without the breathlessness? Sound like anything you know of Dr O?

Hello Jordana,
Though I have not seen this term it sounds like what we call Mast Cell Mediated Disease. We are now realizing that chronic lower respiratory disease can be subdivided by the type inflammatory cell present and that by directing treatment toward the specific type inflamation you can get better and faster recoveries. See Disease: Respiratory: Chronic Lower Respiratory Disease for more information.
