I am having trouble with an asthmatic reaction to chlorine in the pool when I swim laps. Any advice on how to manage this type of reaction? I want to keep swimming.

I have severe/moderate asthma-73 %. We all now know that there can't be an allergic reation to chlorine becaue there is no protein present. There are tons of other things though around pols that you can be allergic to and not know it.
I'm alergic to singulair. Get a great red rash. This is a very common problem with hte drug that the producers don't want many people to know about. I've heard as many as 35 % users have this reaction.
I have huge lungs generally when I get my yearly PFT well over 9 liters. I take prednisone 10 mg every morning. I also take Theo-24 600 mgs X2 daily plus I use an Duoneb, Allergra D. I'm allergic to pigeons and that's it but I produce eosinophiles like mad. Have you had an Anti-IgE test? they really indicate any allergy better than skin tests. There could be something you are allergic to but don't know it.
I have found that pulmonologist are much better for me than are allergists.
