Yes...miserable.....been managing these for many years...mine aren't due to my meds, but in some people tongue ulcers are due to meds...I also get ulcers on my gums & inside cheeks & roof of mouth & gullet. But my tongue ulcers are often the most painful

check out this link to a current discussion on how to treat these:

Thank you CoCo, you always have the best advice!! My doctor has me on colchicine which works most of the time but this time has been worse than most. Xoxo Teresa

i know i had these on me gums so what i did was got a garlic clove and chopped a bit of it a small piece and chewed it stung like hell but they whent

For some reason galic has some anti inflamation stuff in it have a read on net on it see what you think first.

and yes it did sting ................

I think I may have Lupus & I get ulcers on the sides of my tongue. They are really painful. I rarely get a mouth ulcer.

Thank you all for you responses. I will definitely try them out. I'm so tired of the ulcers and really wanted to know if I was alone in that they are only on my tongue. Sometimes they are elsewhere in my mouth but mostly on my tongue.
