Amy, Well I'm sure you've heard what my ENT has repeatedly told me when I complain about gunky mucous, etc., which is that it takes 8 months to a year to heal and until then I'm likely to have all sorts of unpleasant symptoms.

Is John taking salagen or the other drug that's supposed to stimulate saliva? I've found since I started taking Salagen (and especially now that I'm on a little higher dose than the minimum) that I'm having more thick mucous again. I also have sort of a chronic "getting a cold" feeling. I sneeze a lot at the beginning of the day and have to blow my nose several times, and more often throughout the day, although I never get really stuffed up. I also seem to have slightly more mild sinus-type headaches. (But yet I still wake up with a painfully dry mouth in the morning!)

Anyway, I agree with Cathy that the headache thing is something that should definitely be checked and I hope it all turns out to be a bump in the road that gets better over time.
