FM is Fibromyalgia one of the things consultant was thinking of was Lupus just got another appt with him for end of April so no doubt he will ask for more blood tests as ulcers getting worse and last time was a weak positive.

think I prefer the iced water to salt water got some piglet shaped ice cubes he'll be gentle on me lol


Daughter says back of throat looks like ulcers on it but not roof of mouth that just looks red

Excuse my ignorance

What's FM?

My friend suffered frommultiple mouth ulcers, they tested her or Lupus & crohns disease, but never came up with a diagnosis. She used to drink glasses of iced water all the time. Said it numbed her mouth.

Eventually they went away but she had recurrences for over a year

I have used salt & water and gargle with it, but it does sting and you may dance around the bathroom for a while, but will help with the healing.
Eating ice cream or and ice lolly also does the trick but only short term

Other wise always have bonjela in, just in case. Sounds painful though. Is your immunity down?I think you may need some medical help

Dawn I was going to suggest salt, like Lynn, but as you have so many it might be a bit awkward trying to put salt grains on each ulcer, so maybe a strong solution of salt water would be better as it will reach more of the ulcers. Do you have any Oraldene mouth wash at all as that might help, or one of those teeth mouthwashes.

Can you get hoold of Bonjela (sp?). My daughter useed to suffer a lot with ulcers and although it stung like hell, she used to eat a pack of salt'n'vinegar crisps or have salt and vinegar on her chips. She swore it cured them quicker than anything. I've never suffered with them so I can only go on her recommendation. I think Bonjela is a less painful alternative though.

My dad had this recently and he actually needed some medicine from the doctor, they presribed him Nystatin and it cleared it up in a couple of days. His was so sore he couldnt eat, he had about 8 mouth ulcers.

Hope you find relief soon.
