Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I am just about 2 1/2 yrs since the 1st surgery and I am just now getting my energy back and feel great. As for the phlem, I just spent 2 hrs in a new type MRI and they did it 7 times. The phlem was so bad I had to swallow and not one pic came out. I understand about eating, but it's something that has to be to survive. Get you nan on here to read what others go thru and maybe he will realize he ain't alone.
