Hey guys,

Got the same thing about the same time. Baking soda and warm water gargle relieves it and cleans the heavy mucosa out for a while. Worked great for me. You guys are at the point of really wanting to feel good but your still having good and bad days. Man that sucked.

That was the worse part of the treatment for me. I really understood how I was going to feel going through, but once it was over I was only told by the docs that I will feel better in 6 months.

It took 4 before I stopped the heavy phlem, mucosa, and nausea problems. Now I only get a dry mouth during the day when I am working. I talk too much I guess. At night I am fine as long as I keep my mouth shut. smile

Take care.
Robert
