Chunks, Mucus, etc.

I've put 3 pictures of some stuff that comes out of my nose and mouth on my albums in my profile. The picture of stuff in the sink is stuff that I blew out of my nose while irrigating and the stuff in the cup is what I coughed up shortly after. The stuff in the cup is darker and harder.

the stuff in the sink is very similar to what I get out with my sinus rinse too. Where does that stuff come from that you cough up? your nose or chest?

Unbelievable!! I had some strange some oozing out of my ears for many months, but nothing that looks like that Phil. I cannot imagine what all of you who deal w/ this aspect of wgs must have thought when it first started happening?

fortunately I don't cough anything like that up! Similar stuff in the sink when I do nasal irrigation to what you have but but the crusting is so much worse looking :-) these discussions maybe a little gross but I find it very informative

Brooke, the stuff that I cough up comes from the larynx.

I only get clear stuff, with a little blood. Wow, it is amazing that you can produce this stuff. So the arteries ( smaller ones the supply the blood) must bleeding and then form a clot and then it hardens. I probably means that the WG is still active.
I right now have stuffiness and ears feeling full. So annoying!

The stuff in the cups looks like the stuff I used to flush from my nose only not as bad. I probably removed at least the amount in the second cup from each nostril. You say that this is what you cough up? Wow!

I've never coughed anything up that was too alarming, just a great deal of mucus, sometimes infected. In spite of the state of my nose, it did not seem to get down into my lungs or throat except when I had major bleeds.

Okay, I'm gonna go look at the pics. Just taking a moment to giggle about the title of this thread.

Alright, I'm back. Well that was less disgusting than I thought. Phil, I really have a hard time believing this isn't active Wegs. I don't remember what your docs decided (sorry-- memory is off lately).
