Summary
A Reddit user in r/cfs who had had CFS for a few years reported 11 years of constant phlegm, plus a raw sore throat, a cough and heavy-feeling lungs that were more recent, and difficulty breathing through the nose. They suspected a sinus problem and recalled nasal polyps found in their teens, though the investigation fizzled out. An antihistamine nasal spray did not help. They said they felt, and imagined they looked, constantly sick.

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
