He doesn't have it bad. It's situational for him... he needs a trigger. Not just pollen/pollution, not just exercise, not just a virus... but the right combination of 2 of these will cause him to spasm. It's only been when he pushes himself and is running up the hills that usually does it. I think there is also a mental/emotional part too. He gets nervous and discouraged and it happens more then. Hot weather is a stresser for him also. Otherwise, he doesn't have any problems. Maybe 10 times this year total, all from running cross country in the heat. Once he breathed in some smoke from the starting gun, that really gave him a bad time. The rest of the time, we don't even think about it. He climbed those big rocks in Zion no problem!
seems like a GREAT attitude and wonderful that he/you don't let it stop him 'CUDOS"
