Cathie,
The Sjogren's website for the forum is
www.sjogrensworld.org.
Mucus is one of the products of Sjogren's. The body produces mucus on a daily basis and with Sjogren's sometimes the mucus gets really thick and gross. The ragweed, pollen, mold thing is really bad in Texas right now and it makes the mucus even worse because the body tries to produce more mucus to deal with the allergens. The only thing I'm finding that does any good is lavage and something to moisten like the Saline Spray. Even then it's still bad, ..but my sed rate is still up so I'm not sure what to tell you. You might try stopping the household scents, perfumes, perfumed bath washes, perfumed soap, etc. (thought you already did but wasn't sure).
Wish I could help more. And no, you don't ever get really used to it.
