White Sore On My Tongue Posted: 01-22-05 06:03am
I have a bit of a sore throat, nothing
major and a couple of mouth ulcers bt
yesterday I developed a wierd one at the
back of my tongue on thw side of it, it is
about 3mm in circumfrence and white and my
tongue is swollen where it is, any idea
what it might be from and how I can treat
it? Is it linked in anyway to my stomach
ulcer, I am on 150mg gertac ranitidine for
that and I keep getting stomach cramps a
while after I eat and also my lower back
is in constant discomfort.... Help!!!!!!!

Sore Tonuge Posted: 01-22-05 20:23pm
I too have ulcers on my tongue~ it is now
a permant part of me...They dont seem to
go away...Always there.. But not always
flared up... When flaired up...My tonuge
gets very sore.. Useally when I eat
vinger dressings, mustard, ketchup or
something that is hot and spicy.. Then I
will have a sore tonuge for a few days..
But they never go away.. I stay thirsty
all the time..Never get enough liquids
because of these sores..
I have lupus as well..The doctor said it
is un-active.. But I can tell its
there..I have all the symptoms that us
lupies have..
Brain fog, forget things, hair falling
out, ulcers, rashes, allergic reactions,
clumbsy, I fall alot, headaches, weight
gain,arthritis in hands, feet, shoulder
and now neck.. I get cramps in my sides
when I pick up something heavy.... Not
sure what that is but it hurts.. I have
boils sometimes.. Which is
uncomfortable.. And when stressed things
seem to get worse..I feel like a
complainer but at least on this board I
can pour out what I feel..Someone might
read and learn something..
Oh and one more thing last night I was on
this board..And my virus scan popped up
and said I had a
trogen..(exploit-byteverify)... At about
10: 18pm.. Which my mcfee deleted and
disposed off..And I scanned to be sure
...
And then again today just about 6:30pm
mcfee said another trogen was caught and
deleted...
I am not sure who runs this board but take
note! Please cause I like this borad..
But I dont wont any virus!!!

Sores In Mouth Posted: 01-25-05 17:03pm
Hey,
i too have sores in my mouth all the time.
I also have sjogrens which causes my
mouth to be dry all the time. I have
found that some of my favorite foods are
now some of the hardest for me to eat.
You are so right about the ketchup, spicy
foods etc. And also mouth washes are
very painful to me. I have begun using a
line of mouth products called biotene.
They are for people who have saliva
problems, mouth ulcers etc. It has
seemed to help quite a bit.
Unfortunately, I have had to learn to
either give up some things (certain fruits
that I love) or to endure the mouth pain
after I eat them. Good luck to you....I
feel your pain.

Before I started taking plaquenil, taking
b-complex vitamin supplements and folic
acid really helped. They worked as a
pretty good preventative medication, and
when I did get ulcers, they didn't seem to
last as long. I have been told to take
acidophilus and l-lysene, but they never
did work for me. I'm wondering if
perhaps those are meant to treat cold
sores rather than this type of oral ulcer.
I also find that any abraision (biting
tongue, cheek, etc.) would cause these
sores. I am careful to brush my teeth
very gently, take my time, and try not to
eat sharp foods (like tortilla chips).

Mouth Sores Posted: 06-28-05 23:09pm
I have mouth sores like you wouldn't
believe, not only ulcers but glossitis and
geographic tongue. I have found you have
to avoid spicy, citrus foods, mouth wash
and most toothpaste. Crest has a new
advanced sensitive paste that is great.
Take mega b-complex 100% take twice the
recommended daily amount because you
probably are experiencing a b deficiency.
Drink powerade or gatorade in addition to
water because it has additional
electrolites which you might be deficient
in, also. Drink "odwalla b-berry
monster" blueberries are great
antioxidents and nutritious. Get plenty
of rest and appropriate nutrition. Avoid
too much sun exposure.
If you do these things for two weeks you
will start to see an improvement on your
tongue. If you continue to live this
way, you can use your tongue as a
borometer for your general health, when it
looks goods, things are good.
Good liuck,
mia
