Hi gemgemz, I had mouth ulcers and sores constantly. My tongue also gets sores. Have APS. The only thing that helps these for me is an antiviral, acyclovir. Those sores used to drive me crazy.
I also have chronic daily headaches since childhood. Aspirin does help--approved by doctor. Hoping a higher INR might decrease headaches but don't know yet if this will work.
Hi gemgemz, I too have lupus and hughes and have mouth ulcers almost always. And same with headaches. It's cyclic for me....headaches and then they will abate then gastritis then that settles then athritic and muscular pains then the cycle starts over.
There are many viruses that can cause mouth sores. Some viruses can be treated, others just have to be waited through. You should bring this up with your doctor to check and see if you have a virus.
Mouth ulcers and also ulcers in other places can be a feature of Lupus. I once had a ulcer that stretched from one side of my gum right around to the other side, this was when I was a teenager, not since though. My daughter had the same and ulcers elsewhere. However it his is ongoing including the swelling, it is important to check in with GP or consultant, maybe some blood test etc? MaryF
Hi I'm sorry yo hear ur not feeling well! I've had a burning, sore tongue on and off for over a year now! It comes and goes usually, but now it seems to be here for good! I've gone to dentist and oral surgeon and they know it's a real problem, but don't yet know what causes it or how to treat it! The oral surgeon wanted to recommend me to a pathologist in dentistry, but can't afford that now! My lip and my tongue very sore and do have mouth sores! I have APS and Sjogrens too! I wish y'all well and hope u can find some relief cuz it's painful! GODSPEED
