Stress is a killer for us! It flares up my symptoms like crazy. I keep a hot drink with me all of the time as sipping on it breaks up the mucus. People are just used to me and my stainless mug at every meeting and meal.

I am taking low dose naltrexone and it has minimized the mucus quite a bit. It is thought to modulate the immune system. I have had my skin clear up and my pain from the constant inflammation improve since I started it three months ago.

Interesting suggestion on low dose naltrexone. Perhaps this could offer a solution. Any side effects?

Also, what were your skin issues? Rosacea? Acne? Other?

Lastly, did you also have some wheezing after eating certain foods that also produced more mucus? For me it's the combination of stress and sugary foods or simple carbs that make me wheeze and causes increased phlegm for a couple hours. Albuterol inhaler helps a bit but it really just takes time for it to slow down.
