For as long as I can remember I pretty much always have at least one ulcer in my mouth. When I was younger doctors thought I had Crohn's Disease as recurrent mouth ulcers are a symptom of that and I had some bowel problems at that point too but they found nothing wrong with me and blood work was perfect.
So I've never had a reason for why I constantly get them. I know they can be passed on through families but my family are lucky if they have had 5 ulcers in their lifetime and then my partner only gets them when he has the flu or something. The dentist said my mouth and oral hygiene is fine. I usually get them near my throat, roof of mouth, inside of cheeks and my tongue. The tongue ones are the worst!
I know stress can cause them and you all know I get panic attacks but I got constant mouth ulcers from when I was young before I was stressed or anything, but I'm sure my stress and panics now don't help them. The ulcers usually last anywhere from 1-3 wks.
I've tried everything to deal with the pain and to try and get rid of them such as Bonjela and creams like that, numbing mouthwash, taking vitamins, booze to numb them, salt water etc but I've not found anything that truly works really well.
Do any of you suffer from this as well? Or have any tips I've not heard of yet on how make them heal faster or at least help with the pain? I have one on my tongue and 3 on the roof of my mouth near the back and I can barely deal with the pain and eating and even talking is agony :mad:
