Christine - Yes, my husband has been using baking soda/salt sol all along.

Regarding attitude, he has a naturally optimistic personality (a great sense of humor and always looking on the bright side is actually how his friends describe him). Allowing this to get him down has been a shock for him (he's never experienced even mild depression, even when going through difficult times in the past).

He has appt with MO coming up. They have a great relationship. If this continues, I will bring up anti-depressants but am hoping that the mucus part will lessen by then. Up until this return of thick mucus, he was coping well.

Thank you, Lottie
