Mucus... let me tell you about mucus. Everyone kept saying "dry mouth" while I was drooling like... well like your bull mastiff! I think it took a good 8 weeks for my mouth to stop secreting "gunk," as I like to call it. But now it's all about dry mouth, which (to me) is not as bad as mucus and gunk. Hope you are doing well. This journey we are on is sure a tough one! Do you have a Water Pik water flosser? A few people from this site recommended it and I found it a great way to feel fresh in the mouth. Plus, now that I am eating it is a good way to clean the mouth of food debris, which my weak tongue still can't manage to take care of. -Michelle
