Occasionally I get sores on my head and I often get oral ulcers in my mouth and on my tongue. It's relatively common to get oral ulcers, nasal ulcers and sores on the scalp. they are horrible. Years ago my Mom had a heart attack in my car on the way back from a concert and her whole body had shut down. She ended up in a University in nearby Morgantown, W.V. and from the stress I awoke the following morning with twelve ulcers in my mouth and tongue and ended up being hospitalized and they thought the ulcers had drained and caused pericarditis, and they also thought I had a stroke during my hospitalization. My Mom got out of the hospital a week earlier than me and came to visit me and said she had been making jelly. Lol That's just one of my exciting stories of Lupus and me for the last 40 years.
