Hi Tracy- Iam also having to deal with those blister on my tongue in my mouth and nose....when it was very bad- the dr's gave me a cortisone type of mouthwash, but I have banned ANY cortisone from my life so I use a toothpaste Sensodyne(South Africa) which helps for sensitive gums and rinse afterwards with a strong anti-bacterial mouth wash Sometimes I just rinse my mouth with saltwater, when I dont have those. You will have to take some mild pain tablet(panado/tenston/stopain) for the fever and the thirst? Well I dont think there is a SLE patient who is not thirsty- drink LOTS of water - it seem to flush impurities. Also add a teaspoon of alkaline powder to your first water of the morning......i wish you well- hope you feel better soon....

Hi Tracy, try Biotene mouthwash and toothpaste, they also do a gel you can carry round with you. I went to see a oral specialist a few years ago and he suggested this and it has helped me a lot. Not all doctors will give it you on prescription which is annoying but it is worth the price. Just look out for 3 for 2 in Boots and you can save money. When I started using it you had to order it but most chemists sell it now. Good luck and do give it a try.

Hi Tracy .... when I get the blisters and mouth ulcers, I use yoghurt. I take a spoonful and try to keep it in the area where it is sore and I have found that this clears them quicker than any of the prescribed medications.

[traceyd in reply to NeeNaw]

thankyou very much for that ..i'v tryed natural yoguart and wow my mouth cooled down with in 5mins...i carnt do ice-cream as i get a silly reaction to that in my tummy..but you have been a great help once again thankyou xx

[NeeNaw in reply to traceyd]

The yoghurt has a natural bacteria that fights infection, so I would recommend the yoghurt over ice cream any day, so pleased that you got a positive result .... it will be even better tomorrow x

Hi ya, I know how bad this feels, it's intitially how they found my Lupus. My GP thought I had Bechet's Disease which is very similar because I had about 50 mouth ulcers and lesions everywhere. Since my meds have kicked in I rarely get the mouth ulcers now but you have evry sympathy becuase at one point I knew I'd been dreming if I wasn't in pain. I used to gargle with salt water which is painful but it brings the ulcers out so they heal quicker, am scarred all over from theto start with but it brings them out. I must have a lesion in my nose now cuz it's been bleeding for a week now! I also get them in & out of my bits and on my bum so I bath in salt water, nothing clers tem up though! Am back at the rhuemy next fri and it can't come soon enough! If he tells me any tips or advice I'll let you know. I saw the oral surgeon afetr my dentist sent me but his advice was proper immune meds which for the most part now they've kicked in do help and my GP said to keep your mouth as clean as poss.

Hi

Try liquorice for your mouth ulcers it helps with the pain also they seem to go quicker.I think mouth ulcers are the most bloody nasty, evil, make you want to scream things, they should be against the law.( I really want to swear, best not)

[traceyd]

hiya bettie..thankyou for your kinds words thay did make me smiel..as like you i could swear for england sometimes ....and yes mouth ulcers should be bloody banned ..but might not try liqourice of know as i could poo for england at the moment so think it might be wise to not try that at the moment lol.i do think we should scream and shout as much as we like as this sle is a ****( i call mine a man as it pisses me of daily ) well best wishes to you

Hi Tracy, hope you are ok today- I awoke this morning with a horrific flare which started last night with a burning itchy skin. As for the yucky taste in your mouth and the thirst, yes. I have the problem as well. I brush my teeth and Tongue at least 3 times a day!!! The problem is mostly with the Tongue- because of internal fever and all the other things in your body going on because of Lupus, the Tongue gets packed wit all sorts of nasty things - sometimes I stick out my Tongue when I get up and reels with disgust because of the yellow,greenish,White stuff on it! I have a special brush/rake -like thing to clean my tongue- I'm certain you would get it @ Boots

Hope u have a nice day!!

Hi,Tracey; Get your dentist to prescribe Duraphat toothpaste,Difflam mouthwash & Fluoriguard mouthwash. These are what my dentist gives me for the same problem and they work quite well when used regularly with pain relief etc.Good luck xx
