Linda, I had a lot of mucous when my disease was at it’s worst. It was particularly bad first thing in the morning when I would normally end up throwing it up. As I went into remission (for lack of a better term) this problem has gone away as have most of my other lung problems. I guess I don’t have any specific recommendations for you other than to let you know that it is probably part of scleroderma. My doctor and I are still trying to decide what put me into remission, the d-pen or my own natural resistance so I can’t even tell you for sure what has helped me. And I would avoid the Pred if I could too. I was on it for a while and it is *nasty* stuff. Beth G

Does any one know about these symptoms? Are they part of this wretched dis-ease? & any treatments that eliminate them? The burning lungs are transitory and traveling. The mucous is annoying. I am trying to avoid Predisone.
