I just wanted to post a quick follow-up. I had a follow-up. It was a bone shard-I didn't ask where from, he just pulled it out-it didn't need stitches. I've had a few more sores pop up. Apparently, it's a common side effect when you start Cellcept. Love that my dentist knows that actually knows what Lupus is! He had me do some baking soda rinses for a few days, and it cleared them right up.

I've been good with the soft food, and the jaw hasn't hurt since. Although I won't lie, I'd give my right arm for some red meat. Hahaha.

Also, just FYI I did talk to a nutritionist this week. We discussed probiotics. So in addition to taking probiotics daily, to consider taking the drink Bio K whenever you take antibiotics. Apparently it's super potent and gives an extra kick. You have to get it at a Heath food store though. She said use 1-2 bottles each round of antibiotics. I just thought I'd share since I know you're big on probiotics. She suggested I try Xylitol mints after meals, and sip a little in water to help strengthen my teeth. It brings the PH back to less acidic levels.

Thak you again for all your help and support!
