Hi sourlink

BB is right(very rarely wrong!)

the link helped me, i was suffering from the same problem, however it does clear. The mucus didnt clear however, for ooo lets see 3months into my quit, so it may take awhile.

When you think about it, you have spent many years intaking this thick sticky tar, so for us quitters to expect clearance after a few weeks, i think is wishful thinking.

stay strong -you are doing great-well done xxxx

My G.P.recommended that my good lady slapped across the top of my back area down to halfway on my back on a morning. This apparently helps to loosen and helps you clear the crud out.

I'll sell you mine if you wish

I wish BB would stop talking about post nasal drip, everytime I read it I get this horrible feeling of discomfort at the back of my nose/throat. It's not there any other time though :confused:

Hi Sourlink

Well done on your quit you are doing great

I also had a dry sore throat early on in my quit it disappeared after about a week but i still wake with a dry mouth from time to time onwards and upwards

No probs BB, I suppose in a way it makes me appreciate the fact I have had practically no ill effects from stopping fags, just looked at your pond photos there, very impressive work sir.
