Doctors on Thursday
Posted 08-16-2010 at 02:34 PM by lokelake
I an going to ask the doctor if he can refer me to an allergy specialist to see if why I keep on getting canker sores is a result of a food allergy or sensitivity, or a lack of enough of Iron, folic acid, or vitamin B12. If none of that, then I either have to suffer until I eventually stop getting them, or it may be an immune disorder.

Quote:Loke, you're an idiot >< Many people get them. You don't even get them very often. Take a vitamin. Rinse your mouth with salt water to lessen pain when you get them. Don't drink orange juice or eat hot things when you do get them. Stop overreacting for the love of god ><
And it would be nice to know what causes them so I know what to stay away from.
Since you get them every month, when you do research, you will probably be concerned...Posted 08-16-2010 at 06:05 PM by lokelake -
Hun, you do realize that canker sores can also come with a women's menstral cycle. *shakes head*
As for taking supplements.... you do realize they're go for you? That taking them even if they aren't the cause will not make you stupid?
As for me worrying about it, besides the reason above, I know that most of mine are traumatic ulcers, which are self caused.
webMD.com is a good place to go looking for things like this. It's a good site and a trusted one. http://www.webmd.com/oral-health/und...r-sores-basics

So, I repeat, stop overreating....Posted 08-16-2010 at 07:38 PM by lokelake -
When you bite your cheek, you get a bump there. If you get a canker sores in the same place, you kind of make the conection. Some time they just develope though, no obvious reason. Would you mind pointing it out to me where you found this magic number of 2-3 a year? Who are these experts exactly?
Oh, and you do know you're going to have some super fun blood tests to find out what vitamins you are deficent in?Posted 08-16-2010 at 07:52 PM by nellybell

And thats great that you know how you get yours, but you cant tell me to stop over reacting all because I want to find out how I get mine. Too many factors for me to pin point by myself. Even when I had them occasionally when I was younger, I dont think I had any that was inside of the cheek.Posted 08-16-2010 at 07:58 PM by lokelake -

they're more rare then the ones you usually get, so not good. I don't just use the internet, I have medical books at my disposal
Now that I look, if they're just cankers sores then you're silly and you'll be fine because there isn't really anything you can do abouut them other than the salt water, there is another thing call oral thrush.
It isn't likely that you have it, it generally happens when you have a low resistence to infection, which you would know if you had as you would be getting sick more often then normal people. Have you gotten sore patches in your throat?Posted 08-16-2010 at 08:17 PM by nellybell -

I doubt I am dying from an odd disease too, but like I told nelly, it would still be nice to find out what causes them, for me, so I can prevent from getting them in the future.
