sores in your mouth from tomatoes?
Comments (11)Very interesting post. I always get sores in my mouth after eating tomatoes for an extended period of time... I start eating them 7-15 (approx) and then I don't stop until they stop. About middle August I get them - worst part is, I don't stop eating them... fresh tomatoes are such a specialty for me that the pain seems worth it! I'd imagine that if I ate ANY fruit as much as I ate tomatoes that I'd probably have SOME reaction... Saturday I cut up a fresh pineapple and by Sunday I was having some effect in my mouth from eating a lot of it for 2 days......See MoreWill the pain ever go away?
Comments (6)Hi knb, I lost my Dad on Oct. 20/09. He had a stroke. He lasted a week before he actually passed away. My Mom passed away when I was 28. If I learned anything from that, I am 47 now, is that it takes time. Grief hurts. There are no ways to avoid it. Try and accept the feelings you are having and don't fight them. There is absolutely no right or wrong way to go through this. As far as how long, everyone is different. If you can see one bright spot in everyday, even just a minute, you'll been on the right path. One minute leads to two, then an hour, then a day, then a weekend and so on. Before you know it, your grief won't be the all consuming power in your life like it is now. Just allow yourself to grieve, but most importantly focus on the bright spots. They are the light at the end of your tunnel so to speak. I am as well struggling with the loss of my Dad. But I know from experience what to expect, and what is normal for me. I have two girls 12 and 10, so I know that having kids can make it harder to cope. All I can say is ask for help if you can, from friends or family and hang in there. Trust me, it will get easier. Grieving is a process. You can't skip ahead without going through what your mind and body need to feel better. I'm at a point in my grief, where I need to focus on my bright spots. If I don't, it will pull me down too much. I'm actually looking forward to refocussing. Will I be grief free quickly? No, but I'll start to feel better. Little by little. And in time I know I will be back to normal. That's going to feel a whole lot better than where I've been. I hope this helped you, and all the best Lizzy...See MoreInjured doggie won't take pain pills or stop licking incision
Comments (10)Put the collar on, and keep it on. Yes, they go nuts, but they adapt. I've had several cats I had to collar. Buster kept trying to back out of it. It was a couple of day before he stopped walking backwards. LOL! Just make sure the collar is the correct size - that he can reach his water and food dishes. They learn to navigate with it. My cats have had to wear them for 7-10 days and they all adjusted to it. It's better than having the wound pop open and have to be restitched, possibly infected. About the pills - sometimes a pill popper works. You can slide it into the side of the mouth and it pushes the pill far back down the throat so they are less likely to spit it out. I have never had luck with masking meds in food. One thing that I do that almost always works - pulverize the pill into powder (but check first to make sure it isn't a coated pill that shouldn't be dissolved until it hits the stomach). Squirt a little canned food gravy from some dog or cat food into a small shot glass or coffee measure cup, mix the powdered pill in with it, pull it up in a 1 or 3 cc syringe (without the needle) and squirt into the mouth. Your vet should be able to give you a 1 or 3 cc syringe. Sammy says this too will pass!...See Moreiron deficiency and dry mouth
Comments (19)mboston - Yes, I get sores on my tongue, lips and inside my cheek. The sores on my lips look more like little red patches, never blister like. The tip of my tongue is always red and somewhat inflammed, so it makes eating very difficult and ice water is the only thing that comforts it. My doctor told me that iron deficiency anemia will inflame the tongue and because the tongue is somewhat swollen, it gets irritated from rubbing against the teeth. when this happens, the tip of my tongue will feel numb and then a few days later it will start burning. I too have stopped eating spicy foods, soft drink, wine and many of my favorite foods. It's been so frustrating. Magaritha - Mine began in May of 2009. I totally sympathize with the not being able to eat or speak when there is a flare up. This has really been a tough thing to deal with and has impacted my life. In June of this year I had a hysterectomy, so at least I won't be dealing with huge amounts of blood loss every month. That also may be why I am starting to notice a difference. My ferritin level is at 3. I just had another blood work up yesterday, so fingers crossed I see an improvement. I take chelated iron which is better absorbed. I just decreased my dosage to 125 mg because it was causing significant intestinal issues. I live in SF bay area and just recently found out that there is a Burning Mouth specialty at UCSF. I'm glad someone is starting to take notice of this disease. I sure hope we all feel better! Big hugs!...See Moremarciasc
