Thanks for doing the term “slime.” That’s a good description for me to use with my doctors. I talk about “clear thick phlegm i can scoop out with my fingers.” I think “slime” would help them better understand the thickness. It gives me a sort of indigestion, heartburn, and it feels like there’s a ball of it in my esophagus and stomach at times.

It comes and goes. I drink lots of water when it’s bad- that seems to thin it out for me, especially if I’m giving a long presentation or discussion at work.
