Hello there. Ive had a nightmare of a few months, and I am panic stricken. In november 2012 I got the most awful sore throat. It lasted about ten days and then I got a terrible headache across my eyes that would not go. I went to the doctors and they did my bloods which showed my ferritin levels were a 3 so they put me on iron tablets.
During this time my tongue felt terrible.. it was burning and tingerling it had a white coating and just felt like cotton stuffed in my mouth.. then I began to feel like something was stuck at the back of my throat. I called the doctor and they said it sounded like thrush so they gave me the medication for that.. I finished it and things still were not right so without looking at me and just talking to me on the phone they gave me more. Things still were not right after that. My taste buds were up at the back and I just felt very lumpy.
At Christmas I noticed a couple of white spots on my left inner cheek.. I freaked out and rubbed them and they came away which left some redness... then one morning I noticed one up above in my gum just behind the lip..that did the same. The side of my tongue became sore so I showed the chemist who said she could see a sore patch on my tongue...I show the doc who swobbed it and that came back satisfactory.. she said she wasnt worried at all. I told her it was burning.. at the tip in the middle as well and I asked her could it be my iron.. she said I have been on the iron tablets since november now so she doubted that.
Constantly looking in the mirror and driving myself mad.... I went to the dentist... she had a good look round and said she was not worried about the little sore on the side of my tongue and the white spots sounded like canker sores.
The sore on the side of my tongue was bothering me so off i went to the docs again... a different doctor this time.. she said she couldnt see anything. To put my mind at rest she offered I was refferred to an oral surgeon and I see him on the 28th of this month.
I got home after that appointment and felt something in my mouth and there on the inner cheek was another big white spot... I had just been to the doctors and it wasnt there before... i feel like i am going crazy.
Two days ago.. my tongue wasnt burning wasnt tingerling and not so white and it felt great... next day... that sore on my tongue hurts and now there is another one on the same side.. just a red sore.. it just suddenly appeared.
I am terrfied... I am so worried I have mouth cancer.
