Same here... it was driving me insane.

All day I was constantly holding a tissue to my mouth ready for me to try and clear all that muck out of my mouth before I choked on it.

During the night I would also have to sleep elevated and would be up and down to the bathroom doing exactly the same thing, whilst continually making me feel so sick. Not being able to sleep makes you feel even worse.

I thought it was never going to end --- but it does. You are certainly not alone having to go through it.

Take care
Karen
