Hi All:

I also suffer from the thick mucus and it seems to be getting worse, rather than better (finished my treatments January 2008). Also, I've yet to hear anyone describe a sweet putrid taste like I have associated with mine. Does anyone have such a problem? In the mornings I wake up with a very dry mouth, but after I'm up, the thick, sometimes sticky mucus starts, always with that taste and continues all day. Sometimes the crap is so sweet, it actually burns my tongue and lips. Just wondering if anyone has that taste, or any taste, associated with their excessive mucus.
Thanks.
