Thick, Foam Saliva

Hi dd
I know the feeling as I have the same problem, you might want to try lemon in your water and see if it helps. Also you might try using a sinus rinse two or three times a day as some of the thick saliva might not be saliva but mucus draining in you throat.

Take care and welcome to CSN

Hey dd, I tried to send you
Hey dd, I tried to send you a personal email but it told me that you don't accept them, so I guess I will share my story here. I can relate on the whole thing of not imagining going out on a date. Wondering if there is anyone who would look past my scars, and eating issues out there.

Sorry to hear about your ex boyfriend. That really sucks. I can totally identify with you. I came home on 9/11/07 to find out my husband of 15 years was cheating on me with some 25 year old bimbo. I left the house that night and filed for divorce. I was not putting up with that crap. I was pretty gutted. Not because I wanted him back, but I was also turning 40 that year and I just kept thinking who the heck would want a 40 yr old divorced woman?? I didn't even think about dating for almost a year. I met someone who asked me out and I knew he was a bit younger, which was fine. I thought he was like 35. Turns out he was only 29! It was fun for a while and I really didn't want any thing serious and I was fine with just sort of hooking up, but he couldn't get his act together. (29 I suppose it serves me right) He stopped calling me as soon as he found out about the lump in my neck.

Now that was two years ago. I have been dealing with cancer, neck dissection, radiation, peg tube, losing 40 lbs to become a tiny twig and have scars and feel like I'm 90. Now I am really thinking, who the hell is going to want me now? It sucks to be alone. These three years have been rough and I am pretty lonely. I feel like I will never meet a nice guy. I have finally started to feel semi normal and I am up to 100 lbs from 87 but I'm still not back to work and I am still fatigued. I still deal with my tongue being in pain constantly as well as my neck. I am at least better than I was and I started a yoga class and a belly dance class to try and get my strength, flexibility and stamina back.

I try not to dwell on being alone but it's hard sometimes.

As far as the extra mucous goes you could try mucinex. I found it too drying though. Also look for something in your diet that might be doing it. I can handle milk just fine. It's all I drink but for some people they say it causes problems. I was having thick mucous and spitting and this thick white crap in my mouth all the time. As soon as I stopped drinking Resource Boost Breeze it stopped. I thought it was my imagination so I started drinking it again, and sure enough. Thick white crap I had to spit out came right back. Do you still use the baking soda/ salt and water rinse? They say that helps a lot.

I wish you much luck. If you ever need to vent please feel free to shoot me a message.

Blessings,

Sweet
