canker
so this has been what's been on my mind (or in my mouth) for the past 5 days:
"No one knows what causes most canker sores, or why women are more likely to get them. Their appearance, however, often seems related to stress. Some doctors think that canker sores may result from deficiencies in iron, folic acid, vitamin B-12, or a combination. Canker sores may also be caused by an immune system defect, such as a food allergy. Canker sores are not thought to be contagious. They don't pose any health risk other than the discomfort that comes along with them." - webmd
yep-have had a canker sore from hell since late last week( in the back of my mouth by my bottom wisdom tooth & it's been extremely painful)...every morning i wake up and hope that my mouth will feel better...that's been going on since sat am. i've been taking lysine vitamins (which oddly enough i am giving dulli for his eye problem). i read those are supposed to help.
but this was a prevention suggestion from webmd: "Avoid foods that are spicy, salty, or acidic." so, what am i supposed to eat...baby food!?
honestly, these things are the worst and i do not wish them on my enemy. maybe bush... (which i do blame him for this one--since it did happen right after the stress of the election!?)
the only hope i have is that it should get better day by day and that's really all you can do for these. i have some special toothpaste and "numbing ointment" --but that's about all ya can do. ouch!! and let's hope nobody gets harmed during this healing process!!??
