Hi Deb. I finished up my RADS about a month before your husband, and I had the exact same complaints about rope mucous as he does. The advice you've already gotten here is pretty good. In my own case I started to get rid of that about four weeks ago, and it is completely gone now. Of course my current complaint is dry-mouth, but at least that isn't waking me up at night from choking. smirk

I have been at work full time now for 3 weeks and can say things are really getting a *lot* better. You're almost there!
