Experiences with

Leg or foot ulcers

hi there. So I’ve been getting dry eyes and a dry sore burning tongue and mouth. GP did ANA bloods which were negative. I was thinking sjogrens syndrome or lichen planus (as I also get bad mouth sores.) Anyway dentist has referred me to Birmingham dental hospital and I’m now thinking it could be burning

Hi, Can anyone clarify please how Hashimotos affects teeth/gums? Or is it the Levothyroxine that does it? Whenever I mention to dentist, she is oblivious to this/never heard of it.My teeth have always suffered. Countless fillings, extractions, sensitivity, poor enamel, teeth practically disappearing!

Diagnosed barely 2 months ago and on brukinsa for a month now. Tolerated fairly well so far except for mouth sores. Used magic mouthwash for10 days and cleared things up pretty well I stopped it but still getting lumpy things in mouth. Also dull ache in back molar. Anyone having trouble with mouth sores

Quick question....anybody else experience a sore tongue and roof of mouth and gums with GCA? Along with mild numbness on lip and cheek area and the usual temporal headaches and scalp sensitivity?

please , anyone know if any meds help with mouth 👄 sores and the occasional genital sores / ulcers? I’ve had Lupus for five years now and this is the first time I’ve been troubled with them … so very painful 😣 Thanks for hopefully reading this.

My mouth keeps feeling sore, this affects my tongue, roof of mouth & gums, also feels sensitive & hot. I have several health issues including hypothyroidism, ME/CFS, fibromyalgia & hypertension so not sure if any of these could be the cause? Advice appreciated 🤞

Hi all, I have had Lupus for a long time but it never affected my mouth before. After a very stressful few weeks/months, I now have a mouth full of ulcers. Cracks on my tongue, lips and the skin around my mouth. I was putting the ulcers down to the Lupus. But everytime I brush my teeth now, my mouth

Hi everyone, Hope everyone is well as can be ☺️ I was wondering if anyone on Duloxetine or Amitriptyline experiences sore gums? I went to the dentist yesterday and they think it could be one of the medications that I'm taking, possibly Duloxetine or Amitriptyline. As I've taken both of them together

I was at the dentist last Thursday - not my usual one - and she was a bit rough! She split my lip in the corner and it's came out with large cold sores which are not healing! 😔 I'm considering not injecting today to give them a better chance to heal - what do you think? They're sore and I can't eat

I have had antibiotics lately and have thrush in my mouth. I have been prescribed Nystan to take 4 times a day. The nurse /practioner said also rinse my mouth after using my steroid inhaler.The problem is do I rinse and spit or rinse and swallow? Swallowing is so much easier

I've been on an increased dose of prednisolone since August last year. I've started reducing since January (tried before with a flare-up). I also use a steroid inhaler for asthma (and rinse afterwards). I have frequent problems with oral thrush. Unfortunately the stuff that seemed to work best - the

Hello, So sorry for the long post! So my doctor believes I have Bechets and I am currently undergoing tests/waiting for results. I have suffered with horrendous mouth ulcers ever since I had glandular fever at the age of 19 (now 36), and after a couple of years back and forth to the doctors about it,

I have had a persistent bitter taste in my mouth since the end of December and the only respite that I get from it is either when I am sleeping, eating or drinking! It’s so bad that it is making me feel quite unwell! I am doing everything that has been advised eg drinking lots of water, brushing teeth

I’ve been using Trimbow for about 6 months now and it’s changed my life, however, I get horrible dry mouth and oral thrush side effects. Maybe I’m imagining it, but I’ve noticed that it gets much worse towards the end of the inhaler and clears up a bit once I start a new one.? Anyone else? I always

Hi Peeps, I hope this post finds you as well as you can be today🫠 I seem to have acquired a new skill: shingles! I am immunosuppressed (have RA), have had an operation for breast cancer and radiotherapy back in May to July this year. Yes, I certainly know how to party! 🥳 I have been quite run down

I’ve been told that due to my RA (diagnosed Aug) that it is recommended to have the shingles vaccination. As it’s not a live vaccination, it is no longer mandatory to come of methotrexate. However it is recommended to come of 1 week before 1 week after. I’ve only been on methotrexate for 6 weeks,

Hello everyone, I was deemed eligible for the shingles vaccine and will have it in early November. I’d appreciate any thoughts and expressions. I don’t know if I had chickenpox as a child. I was told this might be relevant. Many thanks

Yes, more good news!! This morning I woke up because my feet were cold; they were cold and wet. There was a 15 x 18-inch puddle of soaked bedding under my ankles and feet. My left ankle had been red for about a week, and I outlined the red area with a permanent marker to see if it shrank or got larger
