Anyone get constant mouth ulcers? I'm not sure if it's related but they've really stepped up a gear this last year, not sure if it's because I'm run down or some other reason but it's so frustrating because I can't eat or move my mouth much and my glads are swollen. Could this be worth mentioning at my appointment next week or is it irrelevant? x

could it be a reaction to some medication you are taking? i had this when taking mefanamic acid along with other side effects. i would definately mention it to your dr just in case x

All I'm taking is Cerazette and I'm not sure if that's the cause but it might well be!

Yes I get it all the time, I told my gyno and my dentist actually and they both said it's hormone related. Obviously feeling run down does make it worse and you could be low in stuff too, maybe getting a blood test? x

I get them when I’m stressed.

Yeah I'm thinking it's because I'm run down, it's nearly the end of term and so was my last one!

Poor you, I can empathise, I'm prone to mouth ulcers too. Have never thought about it in relation to endo but guess that makes sense. After many years of not finding anything much helps relieve them I have discovered corsodyl mouthwash really helps clear them up/ keep them at bay... good luck with your appointment x

I had really bad mouth ulcers while I had the mirena coil. Once it was out they stopped so I’m convinced they were caused by the mirena, so I’d say hormone treatments could def be causing them.

I'm thinking so, I remember I had my first bad one just before I started cerazette from millinette so it might be related!
