Mouth ulcers during flare-ups

diagnosed with FMS about 18 months ago, but reckon I've had it for about 4 years. I get flare-ups every few months when pain becomes all over, the fatigue is much worse, and I get mouth ulcers. Does anyone else get this?

    Hi Jeanne,

    I tend to get flare-ups when I am run down and I always get mouth ulcers then. I don't know if it is related to the flare or being run down though.

      Aww thanks Christine. I'm sure there are others a lot worse off than me. The ulcers are mostly on my tongue and heal quite quickly, I just wondered if they were part of the flare up for others. Take care. x

    Hi Jeanne

    i also get ulcers on the roof of my mouth and sometimes on the gum lune. My fatigue is worse than my pain. A nap and ibuprophin seem to help. My Dr. Gave me an antiviral med for the ulcers. They won't go away immediately but will shorten in duration. Hope this helps.

      i get the same pattern.i have found that using a infared sauna or cyrotherapy helps so much. it wards off a oncoming flare. also i take gabapentin. this had been a life saver for me.

    Hi Jeanie

    i was just thinking about thus topic.i get mouth sores when my body starts a flare. it usually comes on from not enough sleep. i make sure to over compensate and take naps and the sores and the flare goes away. i also do infared saunas and cryotherapy which helps 100% with pain and energy.
