Bryanna, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I take a healthy dose of vitamins and drink a 6oz can of V-8 juice daily. Arnica pellets are new for me but I will take your advice and look them up.

Even though I have "smoker's lungs" I have never smoked even one cigarette. It was 2nd hand smoke from my parents.

I certainly agree everyone needs to stop smoking. It is not good for the person smoking or anyone around them. My mom was a heavy smoker and it has caused severe problems for me. I also have a CNS problem in which my brain forgets to tell me to breathe when I am asleep. I sleep on a ventilator.

I am so glad to hear the roof of our mouth is not going to be painful for a couple of weeks. That makes me feel a little better.
Thanks again .... Dave
