    We can't post pictures here and, right now, i'm glad. I see enough of my own gunk, lol. No idea what might be going on with your lungs, Justin.

    I TOO, used to cough up pieces of gunk. ONe time it was a handful and it smelled terrible!! Other times it was chunks of hardened somethjng! THe doctors had no answers at all. . FINALLY I asked a naturopath WHIch I highly respect and she gave me a detailed but over my head explanation. in essence it was from the lymphatic system not draining properly. She gave me a homeopathic lymphatic drainage liquid. i take it every day and I dont have it anymore. it was a nasty thing, I FEEL FOR YOU.

    Early on in my disease I did as well almost like coughing up a large bubble of tissue. I don't think it matters as long as it comes up. It was weird though.
