Hi Val
Mouth ulsers are rotten, try rinsing your mouth with salty water, it does hurt at first but then takes the pain out
My GP has just taken me of anti inflams, because of my kidneys, so I know how you feel, they worked better then any other meds.Hope you get rid of them soon.
Love

Hi Val,

have you tried Corsodyl mouthwash - this was recommended to me for S, by a dentist when he was getting reoccuring mouth ulcers, pimples on his tongue etc It is a also good for things like thrush. Like you I'd be reluctant to give up a med that was working, unless I had something else to replace it with. Corsodyl does not interact with other meds so can be taken alongside your usual ones. If you haven't tried it already, perhaps you should give it a go before following GPs advice.

Speedy

NB There are different strengths of Corsodyl. To start with make sure you get the one for short term use. Can always switch to the one you can use daily for maintaince at the end of the course.

Hi Val

Sorry to see you have had to stop the Naproxen, I can't live without mine now and would hate to lose them!! Hope you can find a different way to deal with the mouth ulcers, I can only think of mouth washes, but think your dentist would be able to advise. I know what you mean about being a tin man, I wake up like an ironing board most days! :? Hope you feel better soon.

Poor you Val

My eldest had corsodyl when she had a fall at school and knocked her teeth back into her mouth - it is good. Use it a while after you clean your teeth apparently.

I will send you some WD40

Hi Val - sorry about the mouth ulcers - I know they are really horrible.

Just to add to what the others have said - I went to dentist the other day and I asked him what was best for sore mouth caused by meds. He too said Corsodyl - but only short term because it is alcohol based and quite harsh. Also, I use Biotene toothpaste and mouthwash - meant for dry mouth probs which can cause soreness but really helps with general mouth health. Again, dentist says this is good stuff to use. Downside is that it is really expensive (although not as expensive as the dentist!). The other option is salt water mouth rinses but this is not pleasant and doesn't help if you already have a dry mouth.

Really hope you find a solution soon Val. Hopefully it isn't the anti-inflamms causing the problem, so you will be able to take them again soon.

Love Tilly x

valval

valval

julie hugs hope they sort you soon tin man not much fun well took naproxen today will see how feel tomorrow

skezier

Oh Val its just not fair! I used to get huge amounts of ulcers but have become obsessed with teeth cleaning and rinsing my mouth and although it makes the gums recede (keep being told to go easy on them) the ulcers don't happen so much now.

I really hope they can sort out some help with the pain that doesn't damage the rest of you .... and.... Tin man, I am off to see the wizard...I need a new body So come on flower... follow this yellow brick road..... ((( ))) Cris xx Oh and a cyber Aztec bar

valval

tillytop

Hi Val - glad you are not feeling too bad without the naproxen so far - and good thinking to keep a "stash" just in case!

Are you seeing any improvement in the ulcers yet?

Thinking of you.

Love Tilly x

Mind you if you stop the naproxen and start the corsodyl how will you know???

Also my dentist said not to use corsodyl daily defense very day too Tilly!! he said it is TOO harsh :?

nanasue

Hi Val
sorry to hear you're feeling a bit under the weather. Perhaps you could try Difflam mouthwash, that's what I use as I find corsodyl too strong. Really hope you start to feel better soon.

Love Sue x

i hadnt read all the answers but think its cordysil that can stain teeth so need dentists to clean off. i got one that does same job off dentists, think called someting that sounds like september, or sept something,sorry not much use ,,,arrh,think its called curasel..am telling you this so you dont get black teeth!

cebeem

Hi Val

Ask in B**ts for Adcortyl in Orabase its a tiny tube and works really well.
Its the only thing I have found to clear them overnight!
They dont always have it in stock but will get you some.

Good luck *CB*

valval

thanks have made app. for dentist did not want to go while money was so tight even though we can claim it back as in west field but you have to pay it first lol

oneday

think the non staining mouthwash that good for gum problems is called curasept, almost there as sounded like septmeber.

valval
