@francko and @robinson, I moved your question about mucus building up overnight to the Pulmonary Fibrosis discussion group. Francko asks: where does all the mucus come from and what can be done to reduce or relieve it? I hope others have some thoughts about this.

@robinson For some of us (me) the mucus is an outcome of lung problems and over-supplied eosinophils. I have had this all my life. Anyway, most drug stores, big box especially, sell little bottles of mucus pills for $1 or less for about 10 or so little white pills. I buy mine at Walmart or Bi-Mart for 88 cents. Take one about every 12 hours or so.
