    Hi Maria

    Think many of us are experiencing the same issues. Go on low lectin diet and now I’m starting to take Tumeric for inflammation. I have been dealing with this for 8 years now. No fun and very scary cause there is the whole cancer association too! I welcome any suggestions cause I do suffer from anxiety since being diagnosed with this! 

    Hang in there! Deep breaths and meditation!

      Wanted to mention that i use Propranolol or Inderal same thing to help with anxiety . Healthy people take it before speaking events or going in public or just anxiety, palpitations. 10 mg 3 times a day or as needed.

      .  But this stuff is a life saver.  GL

    Hi Maria1767,

    I feel your pain.  Have had it in my mouth over the span of my life and on my hands and feet. Got so bad in my mouth i could not brush with a tooth brush on the sides and lost some teeth. My Primary Doc suggested using Chlorehexidine Gluconate 0.12% oral rinse USP. The blue stuff the Dentist gives you to wash your mouth out. Well after twice a day and about two weeks I got it under control and almost gone with occasional flares i still use it to keep it at bay if you will. Swish it around for about 30 seconds to a minute and don't drink or eat anything for about an hour.  I never used the steroids and sounds like it isn't working. I thanked her , my Primary Doc) over and over to this day for the idea.

      It's your health and mouth, ask for a script and try this rinse . Not saying it will work for you but it is cheap and also refreshing for the mouth. Stings the cheeks  a little but it is a good sting.. I still have it on my hands and feet some and flares occasionally as i have Lupus auto immune thing. For that i use a salve to dry it out and quell it. I can only try to point you in the right direction. Wish you well and fast healing.
