Dear Old Friends, Ops, I don't mean aged, especially for the ladies, I mean I found you since some years on the board!!
Now, to be serious, as many of you know the course of my IBM was according the standard, more or less. In fact after abt ten years began the first symptoms of disphagy.
But until now I never heard of any possible connection between mucus problem and IBM
Just a moment, on my old dictionary I don't find "mucas" but I think it is the same as mucus.
I have this problem since January. It began when upon waking up I must clear my throat with a couple of "kh kh", after one month this "kh kh" was followed by a little clot of catarrh (may be the same as you intend mucas?) To be short at present, upon waking up my throat is the same as I could have a pharyngitis ot a tracheitis and I must put me upright thanks to the new orthopedic bed. After abt 5 minuts of cough all turn to normal and for all the day, both on the bed and on the powerchair all is normal.
I agree with Meg that when somebody has an important disease, like IBM, all strange symptoms are referred to that.
Really, thinking like an engineer and not like a doctor may be the mucus which origins in the lung, because of one or more muscle of the throat out of synchronism, due to the degeneration, don't descend along the esophagus and stops at the junction between trachea and esophagus.
Oh yes I well know that we are not machines, but I and Concetta remember also that our old family doctor said "in spite of the modern diagnostic machines sometimes we are still alchemist" I love you all Giancarlo/IBM - Italy
