Hi laura have you been prescribed mucadyne. It thins down the gunk. I wasn't sure of it at first but after perserverance find it really does work. If this is of no help I'm sure someone will be on soon with other suggestions.

Thank you so much for this thought, I do use it but it is helpful to have it confirmed as userful by other people, L
