Advice/Tips Cost
Mar 07, 2009 This is the second time I have tried this. the first time I had thick mucous and choked alot. I chose not to do it again and deal with the saliva. I have tried it again with better success. I guess they have worked out better placement for the injections. It affects the more watery saliva production. < $25 monthly
