Question: Hi
I have triad asthma and had 4 nose surgeries removing huge pulps in my nasal cavities, but they keep coming back. Right now im having a hard time keeping the thick mucus down my throat and its been getting into my lungs causing me to cough it up as it gets stuck at that valve. I been drinking hot stuff to try and get it to go in my stomach instead but it just sits there at that valve (lungs/stomach). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I just had surgery on my colon (tumor removed) and really hurting that incision in my stomach everytime I cough and causes it to leak. Just gotten done with whining down from my prednisone, but Im really tired of hurting my stomach :-)


Is it the flu? I also tried Nasacort and it didn't help at all, made it worst even. I was on prednisone for 17yrs straight, but it took over my amune system and soon as I get off it (been only 4months now where totally off it, was a 5mg/daily for long period and it seemed to help) but soon as I get totally off it, get cold/infections real easy. I had a asphma attach in hospital, and they have to give me huge doses of prednisone to counter it 126mg in IV. I know that stuff is bad for me, but to me it is my ammune system and works wonders for me. We did do bone density test and was still ok......for now that is :-)

Is this $15 a one time fee for a month/year/day? I didn't even know it cost until I got it all written up :-(

But if we can help it, it would be well worth the $15 indeed. Please let me know what the $15 is covering as I don't want this subscription just taking out 15 each time I type something :-)

Thanks, XXXXXXX XXXX

Thank you for your response. I try to get it to run out my nose, but it wont, so I drink hot coffee/tea/water to get it down to my stomach instead of just sitting there at the valve where it determines whether your trying to breath or swallow. Every time I cough its this thick white mucus and not yellow/green like an effection of some sort, really cough hard to get it out, and I just had surgery on colon and have 30 staples on outside which leak each time I cough (still after 2 days, and until I can stop coughing I think it wont heal). We tried the irrigation method with saline also, but still can't get it to go out nose. Claritin seems to help dry it out, tried other allergy pills but they don't work as well. Is there an over the counter mucolytics? or does it have to be prescribed by my Dr here?

Thanks for all you help,
