I swish with Hydrogen Peroxide which help brighten your teeth.

I use half warm water and half hydrogen peroxide to swish and spit out. Then I put one of the over the counter gel medications with a numbing agent on the spot. I take l- lysine which is a vitamin twice a day when I feel them coming on for a week until they heal. Yes certain foods can cause mine or make them worse: walnuts, pineapple, fresh citrus. Very annoying! I also wear a night guard on my teeth when I sleep to keep me from biting the side of my tongue ( which I tend to do sometimes, specially if my tongue is sore 🥲).

Do any lupies know SEAL? The singer. If you do he has lupus . His scar on his face is a result of lupus. Im saying this cause LUPIES anything is possible in our world... so we need to take care of yourselves 24/7
What happens to one lupie may not happen to another lupie... you may not have rash. You may have have stiffness.
But one thing all lupies have in common ARE IMMUNE system is attacking our good cells... our medication slows down the process. Doesn't cure us.. just slows it down from attacking lupies aggressively.. plaquenil..cellcept.. anything your body can handle slows it down. Which lets us go into remission & also we can live to a good old age.
So this site is so nice to hear other lupies on there journey with lupus to understand it alot better...
PRAYERS ...
LETS FIND A CURE!

IM TIRED! ARENT YOU?

Hi.i have had this same problem for years and it seems to get worse all the time. Walnuts were the only thing that used to bring it on. Now it can come from almost anything so I don’t know what to avoid. One day it can be one thing and the next day another. It is so annoying and painful. The only thing I have found to help is Chloraseptic spray which is used to numb sore throats. My Rheumy doesn’t like me gargling with it for Shogruns related sore throats that I get. I didn’t ask why but will next visit. Sometimes you just need relief! I’m wondering if Abreva can be used in mouth or Oranges for toothache. I’m desperate to find a band aid, so keep me posted if you find something that works! Oh, I also swish with salt water often when’s it’s sore.

Hi. I used to get these frequently. First, I switched to a Sulfate-free toothpaste. That helped to greatly reduce the number of ulcers I got. Second, when I get one, I make a paste out of a small amount of baking soda with a few drops of water. Put it on the ulcer with a q-tip. It is going to burn pretty bad for a couple of seconds. Then the it will get better. It will help the ulcer to get smaller and heal much faster. I hope this helps.
