have you considered the option yet that your body might want that phlegm there to protect itself from what you're smoking?
 
The Mucus that binds us all....

;) ;) Thanks ..and i did go out and get the mucinex, un fortunatley it did not work as expected...but that is okay, what i did do was increase my water intake from 64 oz daily to about 80 oz. i try to eat a small snack in the morning and a early supper, so i am at least to bed by11pm. I actually cut back on the frequency of the smoke...i would always wake up in the morning before work and take my 4 hits, shower, dress and go to work. so typically by the end of the night I'm tired and ready for bed...but even with all the cutting back i smoke now on the weekends. i still have what feels like a hard lump in my throat or feels like it moves up and down. even tho i pass allot of the mucus it stills feels hard pointy and stuck. like a bad case of post nasal drip with a hair ball attached ....

right now i have a huge bottle of gatorade

i have myopia and heavy Nystagmus so if my pupils dilate it is OK no one notices...but i have to really remember not to hack or gag at work ... its the one thing that would give me away. i just wish there was a remedy ...but since there isn't i just cut down on how often i "peezle" it oh well i suppose ...if i find the miracle cure i Will be sure to post it
 
your private messge to me

I am not BL status yet so i cant reply private yet:

the funny thing is i only started two weeks ago . i never had used drugs before ( besides Pot in High School ) i started as a means to curb alcohol addiction ( yes i know how it looks but i have not drank for almost three weeks and as long as i sleep every night and feed my body daily i do OK , i haven't had any bad trips and have lost ten lbs+ from not having alcohol in my system....not i do have pre history of allergies natural Post nasal drip and that invisible ball that you can never seem to get rid of. all it is now is more worse. and last week i hacked so Much and tried so hard i puked. i have all these forums i joined so i could educate myself for harm reduction while i tamper around with the pezzo.....now i dont really even llike the gear....but i hear snorting it burns and iv use is a Def. NO and i wont stick frgn obj in my bum so that leavess the pezzo.
now if i try the salt water thing how hot should the temp be and duration of garggle?
 
If you can't handle IV, you can't handle meth.

Quit now before it takes hold.

Take fish oil supplements.

Eat more.

That is all I have to say to you.
 
^I know plenty of tweakers who refuse to put their shards straight into their veins...and for good reason; I wish I would have stayed away from IV...

Those hard lumps are so irritating; I couldn't help myself from hacking like mad no matter where I was if it felt like I could get one out. I also have allergies and had the best results clearing them by taking some kind of expectorant (guaifenesin) followed by a hack-session in a long hot/humid shower about an hour or so after taking the guaifenesin product. I strongly reccomend getting away from meth now though if you've only been doing it for a couple weeks. The negative health effects you are experiencing now certainly don't get any better with time; and it goes without saying that quiting meth gets exponentially harder the longer/more you do it....
 
Stop smoking meth. Mucus production is a natural response by your epithelial cells, trying to protect themselves from the destruction brought on them from the smoke.
 
Why not just parachute the meth? It works well and wont irritate your throat like smoking does. Or, just stop using meth altogether. Replacing one addiction with another is never a good idea, no rationalizing can fix that.
