I have had a thick, clear gel like mucus in my throat now for nearly two years. I have seen doctor after doctor and nobody can figure it out. I have had several larynoscopy's and was told I have GERD. I began the medicine for that and took it faithfully for 6 months as I was told it takes awhile to work, well it never did work. Then I had several chest ex-rays, along with chest ct-scan, sinus ct scan and throat ct scan and they found no reason for this issue. I had a barrium swallow as well. I have done sinus rinses, taken mucinex along w/ tons of water, also tried inhaling steams. I have been given steroids and antibiotics too. Nothing I do helps. If I drink a soda it seems the carbonation in it brings this thick sticky substance up into my mouth and I have to spit it out, Mexican food will do this too. I also have been coughing up mucus plugs on top of it.......I basically feel fine, but this is a horrible way to live. I try to avoid people as much as possible nowdays, but I do have to work and keep a roof over my head. I've spent a ton of money on this and have now been told that "they have tried everything they can think of and have no other explanation of what is wrong" I don't know if this is connected or not, but one day I woke up and could not move my neck at all. Well throughout the day it did loosen up but ever since I have had a horrible pain in my neck (lol) that will not go away. I have tried acupuncture on this, message thearapy and exercises and nothing works...all my issues are in my neck/throat
Would you have any idea what this could be?? Oh, and I don't cough a lot, but when I do it's vey unproductive, dry cough.
