Answer to your question, Harry: Yes, it's possible.

I've got a diagnosis myself. Advair 50/250 keeps me symptom-free. There are other drug options as well. First get to a doctor and get treated. If the symptoms disappear it's a non-issue here in the US - Advair is FAA approved.

PPrune is indeed more European oriented (there's a Nordic forum, too), but it's still mostly a bunch of pilots. You need to talk to a doctor - and that doc may know (or even be) an aviation medical examiner in your country.

private aviation medical consultant (in the country you wish to fly in) and get some professional advice. Do this the BEFORE you take any government medical exam.
Good advice, but not as easy to keep things under wraps where you are, I suspect ...

It is good that your symptoms have mitigated with age, but it doesn't sound like things are really under control. Get treated first, then figure out where you stand.

Best of luck to you!
