Eric, just one more suggestion. As Michelle's post reminds me, it is not possible to spit that thick stuff out. About a year ago several of us agreed that Puffs brand tissues are the softest and strongest for wiping it out of your mouth. I wish I had stock in the company, for all that I used. Also as Michelle says, it does end. I remember waking up one morning and having reasonable saliva. Just like a switch had been flipped. You will get there too. Hang in there.
