How are you feeling today?

[Zaf]

Anyone know what helps a mouthful of ulcers and horrendously sore throat?  So far I've used salt water and might try some sage tea tomorrow, if I could get rid of those symptome I think I'd feel a lot better

[mamalou]

Nothing.

Corsdyl  mouthwash, just checked in our bathroom. Its used to treat mouth ulcers. Its good stuff. You can get it from main supermarkets. You will need the strong mouth wash and not the corsdyl daily defence one. S x x x.

I'll have to see of Sainsburys have some if D is going that way at all

Today...

I feel home sick but I'm at home. It is very strange. I think I've decided I should travel the world and find somewhere I don't feel like that. Just an idea...

Zaf. salt water is amazing. you must do it last thing before bed.  You really need to keep it in your mouth  until you want to puke and obviously no teeth cleaning etc after. Ps. are you aware that tooth brushes harbour bacteria which can cause ulcers and you should run your tooth brush under hot water before using !

Fox. Have you ever read about past lives ? This would explain your feeling of not being at home in your soul even though you are in your body.

[Zaf]

I have to admit I dont do it before but after so I'll change my routine, having done some googling apparently ulcers can suddenly appear when either physically or mentally stressed and as I've been both this week I'd guess thats the cause.

I always feel at home when in Scotland and it could well be the same thing

I have also read that you can suffer with mouth ulcers if you are run down. S x x x x

Rapidly coming off one med to start another later this week. Feeling really awful, panic attack at work yesterday at a public event  , can't sleep, massively anxious, tearful and irritated by just about anyone and anything. Thoughts of finding an end to it all creeping into my head....but I couldn't do that to my kids. Scared that I have been thinking about it though.

[Zaf]

 %^% I hope when your new meds kick in you start to feel a lot better xx

[Sweetpea]

%^% for you. Its hard to come off one med and go on another. Hope the new med works and kicks in quickly for you. S x x x x

[willows]

Thanks Zaf and Shaz. I hope the new med is the one that will finally help me.

[Owl]

Zaf have you tried oraldine? It tastes awful but I find it really works.

I know how awful you must feel re the med changes Willows. I hope you feel better soon.

Went into town today to buy new clothes as all of mine are now far too big for me.  It was the most stressful experience too many people and not knowing how I'm meant to look anymore- never again.

No I havent fox, if anyone goes out tomorrow I'll ask them to see about getting some xx

I agree with Fox to try oraldine, I have used it before and its quite good. I usually use bonjela though and it doesn't really do much. Not got much advice for the sore throat, I suffer with a bad one at least once a week and I have never found anything that effective.

Leg is hurting, tired but been quite productive today. Don't know what I am going to do tonight though. Need sleep and I don't have a bed xx
