Excessive mucous and MANY other symptoms for over 8 months
by HACKING MOM, May 03, 2006 12:00AM
I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH ALOT OF 'ODD' SYMPTOMS. I'VE BEEN TO THE DOC SEVERAL TIMES AND GET NO REAL ANSWERS. SOME SAY I HAVE CHRONIC SINISITUS OR RHINITIS OR BRONCHITIS, AND /OR ALLERGYS.
MY MAIN COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN THE CONSTANT MUCOUS OR PHLEGM(ABSOLUTELY NO COUGH WITH THE MUCOUS).MY LUNGS ARE CLEAR AND I CAN FEEL THE PHLEGM COMES FROM THE NASAL(OR THE TOP AREA;OF THE BACK OF THROAT)MY NOSE IS NOT STUFFY;AND I BREATHE FINE FROM MY NOSE.Once again, I have NO cough..I GET EAR ACHES AND A FEELING OF POPPING AND CLOGGED EARS. I GET JOINT ACHES IN MY HANDS. DAILY HEADACHES(USUALLY UPON AWAKENING AND FEEL BETTER AFTER 2 ADVILS; if i'm lucky)CERTAIN FOODS;MOSTLY SUGARS AND CARBS(BREADS),MAKE THE PHLEGM WORSE FOR A BRIEF TIME. THE MUCOUS IS USUALLY CLEAR AND AT TIMES HAS SPECKS OF BROWN OR YELLOWISH TINT..(I believe the change in color is from whatever I've just eaten or drank)If I drink water all day, the mucous is clear and not as 'slimy' and thick.If I drink a soda, the phlegm will be brown temporarily. On occasions the mucous has had blood in it(I believe from the constant straining and hacking)
AND AT LAST...I DO FEEL FATIGUED AND MY SKIN AND HAIR FEELS EXTREMELY DRY(I USE ALOT OF OILS AND MOISTURIZERS TO HELP IT).I HAVE A SORE TONGUE WITH SLIMY COATING(IF thrush gives you a 'white' tongue, and sores; It's not thrush I have)It feels sore from constantly using it to manuever the mucous from the back roof of mouth..
I will STRESS..I've never been diagnosed with Allergys, and have usually been very healthy active and strong.Does this seem like candida(fungus)?

How are you?
Your symptoms could be due to an ear infection. An ear infection draining at the back of the neck can cause excessive mucus or phlegm.
I would suggest you to get yourself clinically evaluated by an ENT specialist.
Sore tongue and dry skin and hair can be a sign of stress or nutritional deficiency. A multivitamin supplement will help. Do keep us psoted!
