Sounds like an allergy to me. Jim had thrush from bactrim once and it was like what you are describing minus the lip sores. Do you think it's the bourban balls? lol Maybe I should try one and see what happens to me. You got them from the same place I did right? What we wont do for our friends.

Oh Sally I'm glad whatever it is, it's getting a little bit better.

Just to let you know I'm thinking of you and hope all those nasty things are going away! Nah -- it's probably not the bourbon balls!!

Take care..........

DD brought me Oragel today. It's much like Gly-oxide, which she couldn't find. I've used it a couple of times today and it seems to be helping. I am not 100%, but much better than I was.

Thanks a bunch for all your help and your kind thoughts..

I am glad it's getting better Sally. If in the future you need it, Walgreen's has it, as pictured below. It is a box, with a little bottle in it. Use a few drops.

glad you're feeling better, Sally... and hope it clears up totally... like, really swiftly!

I had a running battle with coldsores (Herpes Simplex I) for many years...

my doctor prescribed Acyclovir, that cleared the sores up, and then, they stopped coming (for some odd reason) after a couple of years on a daily dose.

I also had a few bouts with oral thrush, and sometimes, BOTH thrush and coldsores at once.



as to "why at the holidays" well, that's when I *always* got mouth and face sores, my doc said it's the stress, lowers your immune system, and your ability to fight off yeasts and viruses...



since I had little kids at the time, I used Baby Orajel, and that helped.

I'm sorry that you have to deal with all of this Sally - that sounds nasty!

As you know, I don't have MS but my nanan had Progressive MS. She used to get some of the symptoms you are describing and all of the doctors were baffled by them and didn't know what they were so in the end, they said that they were just "extreme pressure-sores". We never really got an answer to whether they definitely were pressure sores or not but I think that because the doctors hadn't seen them before, they just put it down to being them!!

My nanan had some pretty bad ones on her tongue, my mum said they used to look like lesions and it made eating really hard for her because her tongue would hurt a lot.

I hope you get some answers soon and i'm sorry that I can't help you that much - just wanted to let you know that my nanan had similar problems too though!

It almost sounds like Coxsackie Virus...my children have had it , just
not sure adults can get it. You should google it...it really sound
like what this is. feel better Sal

Well, LOL, I haven't eaten any pooh lately, but I have smooched my, still in diapers, grandkids...ARGH!!

I really think it's just canker sores, since the sores are on the outside of the mouth, too....and they are healing with the Orajel.

I think Ali hit the nail on thead....STRESS!!! My worst enemy!!

oh my...I am pretty sure there are other ways to contact this .lol

I really love you Sal....your reply made my day. whatever this is
I hope it is gone soon. I get a rash at the corner of my mouth on my
right side(although its not sores)...that Im convinced is my stress rash.
