[quote=EzJim]This fantastic mucous instead of becoming less, is worse than ever. Hell, it even makes it difficult for morning coffee . It seems the hot coffee must loosen it up to let it become a hindurance.[/quote] This may sound weird, but, if you like dill pickles, then you might enjoy sipping on pickle juice. I sipped on it the entire time I was going through treatments to keep my swallowing muscles in shape. It tasted great to me! I still sip on it sometimes when I get a craving for it. It really helps to cut the mucous.
