the oboe is cool sounding, I can still listen to classical and pick out all the different instruments, i learned drums (my Dad)and can pick a geetar didnt do as well with piano i did learn it on my own , probably why i can only pick a geetar the chords messed me up for some reason, Ive always had a good ear for music and notes, i miss it sometimes, occasionally I grab the grandkids harmonica which is my old good one and play on it

heya Laura I thought I heard powered alum was good for cold sores too, do a few lines and you are ready to go lol I had read on here someone has used it for cold sores with a lot of success, kjust a thought another reason to sign on search for it and eventually end up rpg ing

I have not tried that one if it's the one I'm thinking, because it was specifically for cold sores. It may be something to consider.

In other news, I got some sweet digital pictures of the insides of my cheeks if my dentist wants them for his 'collection' haha. What I thought was Oral Lichen Planus is definitely not OLP (as confirmed already). I got the French word they suspected (secretary said "leukodem"... to me sounds like leukoderm or leukoderma) but honestly I think it's a build up of keratin (if that's the right word?) from smoking that HOPEFULLY will fade over time.

I'm considering trying 2 techniques to see if either works. One involves taking large amounts of beta carotene supplements (which works for Leukoplakia apparently in some cases... although what I have in no way resembles leukoplakia either).

Imagine a series of almost completely side by side lines that run from top to bottom of my cheeks like extremely fine wires. It's wild! The dentists all said "Benign" but are still sending me to a specialist in Feb. 09. So I guess we'll find out more then? Unless I can clear these patches up myself through no smoking and beta carotene

Course... another option is oral lycopene for leukoplakia. Since these seem like treatments that I may be able to read about myself and try myself outside of doing the doctor dance, it's worth a shot either way. Especially in the case of beta carotene.

I think the pain is almost 100% related not to mouth lesions etc... but to the TN or ATN idea. Because.. head pain came back, and so did the mouth pain. Pop back a Clonazepam, head pain (burning) subsides, as does the mouth.

Go figure.

WALL OF TEXT HITS YOU FOR 10,000 damage!!!!
Oh I'm sorry, I thought you said they were canker sores, those are related to cold sores somehow.

Anyway, I hope you get whatever it is under control soon, and that your head pain subsides too.

I do get canker sores, but my understanding of cankers was that they are not viral and cold sores are?

Cankers are an imbalance in the mouth? A pharmacist said the cankers are the result of an overgrowth of bacteria? Beats me. I know they come back to haunt me if I have acidic foods or bite my mouth accidentally, but are gone within 3-5 days generally.

ROFL Gaztastic @ avalanche of music notes. Barely a flesh wound!

Frank I posted on the TN forum yup.... have not checked yet, came here first!

Dunno about that. Those 16th notes and the non-flat notes are pretty sharp (ha ha ha..... good pun if I must say so myself). Might not look like a lot of damage until you start bleeding.

Unless, of course, you need to come back here and I'll bite your legs off. I'm invincible, you know.

Congrats Gaztastic! I'm working my way to the Valley of the Depends. My sword is dull from cutting through the thick grasses!

Frank, they definitely have pain specialists here, but like all good Canadian doctors, there are huge waiting lists!

Cool! I've been looking for just the perfect way to cut down on my food and clothing budget. And I think you've defined it for me.

Now that's an interesting point. I've thought a lot about food reactions or allergy. But that's mainly when I've been around FG and have been concerned that she was going to go into anaphylactic shock over something.

You already have a worldly tongue, Dimpled One. You don't need more trouble.

Ha ha ha! I resemble that remark.

Speaking of funny hats...we were weren't we? I forgot! Oh yeah, CG is the senior one not me.

Canker sores can be caused by a lot of things, stress, too much junk food, and some people just get them when they go hunting every year because they refuse to use chapstick...hmmm wonder who I am talking about...oh that's cold sores! Is that canker sore on the outside?

I think I am rambling so I will stop now...gee, think I've had a lot of caffeine today?
