Hi Jen - nearing the end of your treatment....way to go. I tried anti-nausea meds for the mucus puking, and no, it didn't help. The mucus is more of a gag reflex thing and nothing to do with nausea. I had a peg, so I can't help with your other question. I am afraid to say that my experience is that all you can do for the next few weeks is just get through the mucus and the lack of sleep it causes. I was afraid to sleep for fear of choking. But it will pass. Two weeks post TX I was still gagging, but by 2 weeks and 3 days (my sons high school graduation) I was done. So, know the end is in sight. It gets better. Good Luck.
