I know how you feel. The mucous was one of the worst things for me. I used to wake up every 45 minutes or so to spit, cough, choke, etc. It made for a very poor nights sleep. Then work in the morning and no drugs until 5:00 PM or so. But, you can get through it. Just live from hour to hour and before you know it, the rad is over and 3 weeks pass and all of a sudden, it is getting better and better. Hang in there, you are way past half way and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
