OLP

Hi Karen, sorry about that. We are away at the moment and have just got access to the Internet! I hope you are ok and not feeling to bad with the OLP at the moment?  Mine was ok until about 2 minutes ago as I had a piece of shortbread with a cup of tea and the sugar has really hurt my tongue! Apart from that, it's been ok on and off with occasional mouth ulcers appearing but going overnight. I'm due to go back to the dentists for a check at the end of the month so he will have a good look for me too. I'm getting very tired though as my powers surges (hot flushes) are quite bad and I get between 4-7 between midnight and 7.30am so my sleep is interrupted and I feel quite tired, but as I'm on hols, I can have a siesta now and then to keep me going!  I hope you are doing ok. Apols again for the break in communication. Take good care. Gx

Hey gail lovely to hear from you hope your having a lovely time, sorry for bothering you whilst your away, I agree shortbread is very sugary but very nice, hope the pain eases off quickly for you, I am at the dentist to next week having a root canal got an abscess if it isn't one thing it's another!!!!!! Itching has calmed down a bit now, caught a little spot on my nose  the other day also it wouldn't stop bleeding but it's stopped now I'm sure all this is related, anyway you enjoy the rest of your holiday and take care we will have a catch up when you get back,  much love. Karen Xx

Hi gail 

hope you had a lovely holiday, just what I need I think but I'm waiting a court date for my divorce, iv had a root canal at the dentist had a bit of pain lately with my mouth also bloody aches and pains in my arms and legs don't know whether it's age or this virus and like you night sweats, my dentist always seems relaxed but I worry all the time about these white patches in my mouth 💛💛 hope you are well gail and hope to speak soon Xx

Hi Karen, good to hear from you. Yes the break was great thanks. Sorry to hear that you arent feeling 100%. I should think that the divirce will be stressing you out and wont help with the OLP.  I still have white patches and lines in my mouth and a patch on my tongue but have decided that Im in control and not OLP, so Im just getting on with stuff. Its still sore and burns at times, but I have decided `im not giving in to it!!  I have found a toothpaste which is really good - Colgate Herbal. I get it from spain as I cnat get it int he UK but its great. I have shown it to my dentist and hes happy woth the contents as he wasnt happy about me using the aloe toothpaste as there wasnt any flouride in to protect my teeth. so I use this new one and twice a week use colgate Total for sensitive teeth and they are fine. I also use Difflam mouthwash occasionally, and especially before going for my dental check up and that helps too. I hope you are having a good May day weekend. The sun has just come out here so i might be tempted to go out for a walk! Take good care Karen xxx

Hi Gail hope everything's okay with you, I'm up and down good day then bad day, bloody sweating gets me down, this makes me more itchy, I'm in court on the 1st June over my divorce be glad when that's all over, hope you don't mind me chatting with you Gail,

Best wishes and keep well xx

Hi Karen, it's good to hear from you, strangely, I was going to get in touch this evening and you beat me to it! I will think of you on 1 June. It's a very stressful time for you, and I wish you lots of good thoughts to keep you going. You are right about the itching along with personal heat waves! My back and arms are like that. I've treated myself to Neals Yard body lotion and that really helps. I'm struggling at the moment as I also have a hey hips and knees which along with the heat waves mean I get about 2 hours sleep and then wake all through the night. After a few nights in a row like that life becomes very difficult and even more stressful doesn't it, so a good cry in the shower helps and then I don't look like i have done several rounds with henry cooper!!  Perhaps we could try to find each other on Facebook  and message that way and then it's not so public.?? What do you think? I have a page called  Woolleymead, try that. Apols to the editor if I shouldn't have put this on the page. Take good care Karen and hope to chat again soon.

Hi Gail, that's a great idea.... Iv had a look on Facebook but I can't find you under wooleymead, mind you I'm not the best on computers. I am on Facebook but just under my own name, It would be great for us to keep in touch then don't feel so alone, have you any idea how I search I just looked under search friends but yeah we can keep things private then,

Best wishes

Karen Xxx

If you go into Facebook, in the middle of the page at the top there will be a magnifying glass for searching, put the name in there, not under friends...fingers crossed! X

Check you spelling too........x
