I developed asthma in my 40's. Cold air was the number one trigger for me but eventually I was short of breath nearly round the clock. I was treated by my primary care physician but I felt I was getting worse...sucking on that albuterol canister all day.
I went to an allergist who discovered that the only allergies I had were to cats,which I knew, and oak. He took me off all of the meds my Dr. had prescribed and gave me Pulmicort. I feel as though I am asthma fee. Not a single episode in over a year and I have never opened my albuterol prescription since it's last refill in July.
The allergist is stunned by my progrss. According to him my lung function is nearly 100%. Can you outgrow adult onset asthma?

Wow! Good for YOU!! I bet you feel wonderful!!!
"Pulmicort." I haven't heard of it. Is it a pill form?
I sure don't know if you can outgrow asthma or not. But they say with medications, you can manage it. I bet you are really relieved.
Oak? That's interesting. Just the bare wood, furniture, leaves or sap?
Oak is also a wood that horses don't like to chew on. Putting some in my new horse barn as trim.
