Once again I have a lovely crop of mouth ulcers. The rheumatologist says it is part of the connective tissue disease I also have. :cry:
They drive me mad, they can be so sore at times :?
Is it also a ME thing, does anyone else suffer? :evil:

Oh Dale they are a real pain aren't they :evil:
My daughter suffers with them frequently due to a blood disorder that she unfortunately has and sometimes has as many as a dozen at a time.
She has tried just about everything possible to try and alleviate the discomfort they cause, without much success until recently. A mouthwash called Aloclair (now on the market) has really helped and coats the ulcer relieving the pain. It's not cheap though at £8.60 a bottle!
Have never heard of them been associated with ME, but nothing would surprise me to be quite honest ..... it seems to throw everything our way :roll:
Hope this helps.

Thanx Katie
Maybe at last there it is something that is not down to the ME. It is something I seem prone too. I have some paste called Adcortyl in orobase that works well. Only trouble is it sets, so I only use it at night cos it glues my tongue to my cheek.
We call it cement!! :P
(mouth cheek Teedie! :twisted: )
Dale xxx
Oh yes, I've used that Dale .... it's horrible!! :lol:
As long as it's not James' cheek :wink: :lol:
That is something else we have in common Dale - mouth ulcers :twisted: They are so painful and i have always been prone to them. :x
I also bite the inside of my cheek which causes mouth ulcers too. I can empathise with you. :roll:
Oh, that's interesting Teedie ..... I'm always biting the inside of my mouth too ...... 
In fact it seems to have got fleshier :erm:
Maybe that's yet another flaming ME symptom too :?
Does anyone get hiccups more often than they used to
I do! And they are exhausting :steam:
Katie xx
No Katie, don't suffer from hiccups 
Katie, I'm with Teedie (again!) on this. :P I don't get hiccups.
Hate having hiccups, they really annoy me :evil:

You want a brilliant cure for hiccups ... and it works, honest !
You have to put your arms round behind your back and then press with your thumbs just below your ribcage and hold that for a couple of minutes.
If you can't reach yourself then get someone else to do it for you, I have never known it to fail yet :lol:

Oh right ... thanks for that Kristal :D
If you could just see me now having a practice :lol:
I'll let you know if it works :wink:
