Thank you so much! I’m actually in the ER right now because of this crap 😩
So much mucus buildup out of nowhere causing me to gag and throw up every few minutes.
I haven’t been able to even keep down a SIP of water in two days.

Oh no, @lulu3780. I'm sorry to hear that you are in ER. Are they giving you hydration by IV? Will you stay overnight?

A small word of caution on water intake. I'm on Strict NPO with nutrition provided by home pump, which I suspect is in your future. On water: although I was advised early on that small sips were OK and perhaps good, there appears little question that they contributed to my recently-completed second bout of Aspiration Pneumonia--six days inpatient-uhh. Your diagnosis, staging and tests have been very similar to mine, so I'm offering this caution. Best wishes.
