Suffering for more than 6years form mouth ulcers

Thanks everyone for such a tremendous response. I thought it would take time before some one would respond, but you guys are just amazing thanks.

Regarding the details asked:
its not that these ulcers have come back after 6 years... its that I have been continuosly suffering from these since these many years. Since school, where I was a normal average student, was not very friendly. After school went into a hostel for one year, for college. there also these ulcers accompanied me. I enjoyed a lot there, no tension, just fun, here i became a very talkative and friendly kind of person with many friends. After one year at hostel cam back home it was my decision as I got into a better course, and joined another college. I enjoyed a lot here, was good at studies here made many friends. But mout ulcers troubled me a lot. It was here that I got a biopsy done for my ulcers which resulted in cancellation of any doubts about cancer. As my dad had suffered from cancer (NHL - Non hodgkins lymphona in a lymph node in right side of rear neck some 4 years back).
After my college joined a call center... as per my will and enjoyed working in night shifts had great firends and enjoyed the time. Felt like going to office even on week ends, here also there came ulcers but not soo horrific as now.
After 18 months in a call center daily night and grave yard shifts. Joined a sfotware company, where I need to do some night shifts some 10 night shifts every month. The work is okay, a little hectic. But this time my mouth ulcers have become horrifying, some 3-4 in a cluster, one looking really bad at about3mm in diameter, whitish center, and reddish edges. When these ulcers start they are like a pimple a bump, they are reddish yeelow in color, and I feel like pricking them, but in most cases i dont... Wahtever I do, either prick them or not, they eventually become little rough from outside in a day or two time, and then crack up and once they crakc up it gets filled with a pale yellow/whitish substance. This statys like this for 1/2 weeks during which they slowly loose the whiteish substance and clear up and then the skin re-stiches it self. I have noticed that when one starts healing before it gets completely healed I start feeling a new bum/pimple in my moust. These ulcers can come any where in my mout, including - upper/lower gums, upper/lower inside of lips, any side of the cheeks form inside, on the tounge edges, under tounge. When these ulcers on my tounge edges recover, they leave a crator kind of makr, as if my tounge has been stretched to accomodate the ulcer and my tounge has lost is smoothe U shape from the front and it has become a rugged edged U. These ulcers can come in rear side of my throat, if I say AAAA i can see them right inside, and it becomes hell of a time to swallow anything. I am currently having ulcers on bothe sides of my cheek. some 3/4 in rear end of my mouth, where u see something hanging!! :-)
and one (about 2mm with white fillings and red boundary)under the tounge where on left side of the tounge where tounge is connected to my lower jaws.
These ulcers can come anywhere in my mouth with no pattern.

Please advice, i really need your help.

I am sorry for writing SUCH A LONG STORY but i want to give you all all informaiton, so I can get some help as soon as possible.

Thanks everyone again,

For Jaundice it was allopathy, with some medicies named: Ursocol, etc. I cna look up my presciption if needed. I am actually not at home right now. Will provide you details soon. Currently I am on no medications currently, in fact since jaundice I have not taken medicines its been about 8months.

Thanks for reading my long story and replying . I am heavily touched by your intentions of helping me.

Thanks,
Rajneesh

Hello John,

Sorry for replying late, I was searching for my prescription, which I had during Jaundice. And just found it. Here are the medications which continued for 2 months continosly:
Ursocol SR(twice daily)
Phospholip TF (thrice daily)
And after two months I was fine.. and slowly these medicines were removed.

And since then I have not take any other medication.

I do not take alcohol/tobacco/ or any other drugs of any sort.

Ulcers do not give a constant pain, when I try to use the part of the mouth where the ulcer lies only then it pains. If I do not get it to move in it remails as a something in the mouse which should not be there. And feel like some extra thing lying in there. If I try to move my tounge over it (if it ossible) then it feels like some open wound, and as if Im licking my open wound., If put pressure on it it pains. I have even tried cleaning it completely and removing the whitish coating, and then applying some pain reliver like glycerine/ a medicine available here named smile. But It just makes the region numbg does not help in the recovering of the ulcers so I had stopped it long time back (2-3 years).

My diet includes:
rice(boiled and water thrown)
Vegetables (cooked with spices, My ulcers get aggrevatedby spices so I would stop having anything spicy, inclding some vegetables.)
Dals (coocked in water(water is not thrown). However with anything washed/cut, it is soaked in water for some time (3-4 hrs) depending on when it would be cooked and water that contained it is thrown. Actually in my home all vegetables are cut at one time, and used as and when desired. This wastes lots of nutritional values. But this has not changed ever since I remember. Everyone in my family donsumes the same food, but I am the only one suffering from this problem.

Regarding the exact sensation, its like a wound in the mouth and gets aggrevated when that part of the mouth is used. So If it is in one side of my cheek, it remains wiht no problems when I am typing this, but if I try to blow my mouth full of air, it would pain.

If there is some thing that was needed and I did not answer that feel free to inform me.

Thanks a lot for all your keenness to help.

Rajneesh

Missed my chapatis, made from wheat flour. This is something that we also eat eavery day.

Thanks,
Rajneesh

Thanks John,

It was A Vival Hepaptitis.
My somptoms at that time were fever, weakness, felt very hungry, every 2-3 hours(but that could be becasue I could not eat my complete diet at one go).
Apart from that my eyes went yellow in first week after jaundice was discovered, accompanied with the skin going yellow which in about a months time from discovery of jaundice. Urine came dark brownish. Some times Mild pain in upper abdomen.

During jaundice I did not eat any spicey food, no oil, ate bread, green salads, smashed potatoes, and tomatoes. I just love tomatoes nad also rice, and chapatis (made from wheat flour).

Now my right side ulcers are in recovery phase and they are clean without any white fillings, but the left cheek strill has two big spots of lcers with off-White fillings and reddish circumference. Now I have started to feel some fresh high sensitive regions on the tip of my tounges, they would aso come up as ulcers in some days time :-(

Ulcer under my tounge is still there, so are the ulcers in the rear of my mouth cavity.

Thanks,
Rajneesh

Thanks conniec, dr.deoshlok Sharma, and of course John Stanton.

I have started this thread saying 6years back ulcers started, because that was the earliest I cound remember, but on checking further with my family I got to know ulcers had been with me since long, long time back. I was told I had been suffering for long they could not pin-point any specific year/time when it started. Its been since I was in school, the last date to which we could trace was way back in 1996 when I was in 9th Grade, when I was some 13year old.

Nothing unusual happened at that time. But when I came in 11th std, my dad was tested positive for cancer. However before this time, no one even thought of any problems with dad. He was on diagnosis for NHL Non Hodgkins Lymphoma for about 3-4 years, and now he is all fine.

John, do you still want details of anti-biotics used till today? If yes do let me know I would surely dig up the information and provide you the details.

I sincerely thank everyone here for taking out time and helping me.

Hi all,

Thanks for all the responses, I am grateful to all you guys.

justmebyanyname there does not come any smell. there is no odour. Infact my mom had pyorreah so we all are pretty paranoid about any smells from mouth. But this is not the case.

Murthy thanks for your suggestion will give it a shot.

John, it might take me some time to get all this informaiton, I would reply with the information soon. Thanks for taking this up so far, never any of my previous doctors checked so much. I really feel this time we willl get to the root cause and solve this ulcer mennance :-)

Thanks again,
Rajneesh

Hello John,

I have found some of my old prescriptions, but the handwriting is of doctors, which is not understandable to me. I have two possible solutions, either I scan them and put them on my website, so that may be you can read it from there, OR one of my friends is into medicines, may be he can understand whats written, and then I can send that accross.

Actually the handwriting of doctors here in India is something which only doctors or pharamacists can understand :-)

Awaiting your directions on this.

You had asked for some more information:
what color of tongue (in morning before any food/drink)?
**It is whitish in color, and all my ulcers are covered with thick white coating. This white coating on my ulcers is thicker at this time than rest of the day. And tounge is white on top and reddish at bottom.

how fast or slow eat food ?
**Yes here I see some connection, When I was in grade8th or 7th or may be even 6th i.e. in year 1995or1994 some where close to this time, one of my tooth was removed(first molar). As it had started decaying. It has not come up ever since, as the doctor said. After this time I had started eating things without chewing it much.... this is something that I still do and hasn't change since. So may be not chewing the food cab be linked. As this is something which caught my attention when I was thinking what has changed since all the past years. [I do not chew my food much, and swallow it almost without chewing it]...

how much drink in a day?
**Mostly water around .5-1 liters a day, rarely tea/coffee and that too just half a cup if at home. At if at office 1 or Max 2 tea/coffee per day. Water intake remains to .5-1L.

what type of drinks?
**Carbonated drinks is something that I have almost stopped taking however there are some rare exceptions, in which i take cold-drinks like coke/pepsi and that too not more than 1glass. Other than that water or fruit juice mave favurite pineapple juice.

what type of drinks much
prefer?
**No hard drinks, no preference as I mostly take water as a drink, with pineapple juice as fillers some times, aerated cold-drinks is not my preference.

what favorite temperature of food or drink?
**No such preference, food at a little higher tmeperature than normal room temerature. Like normal hot/fresh food. Drinks at normal temeperature. May be I didnt understand what was actually asked. I am sorry.

which temperature will not have of food or drinks?
**Food at Freezing temerature, except for ice-creams.

Any cravings, aversions, or reactions, from food or to situasions?
**Don't like doing home chores :-(
No cravings for any specific food ever, If i feel hungry I can eat anything. But yeas, when I get up ?I feel like eating some thing salty and not sweet, so If I need to drink milk, I drink it without sugar.

how is appetite?
**Good, three times a day I eat good amount of food.

how do you feel when fasting?
**Very hungry, I rarely fast.

what foods cannot stand at all?
**Mostly green vegetables, I like potatoes, tomatoes. But do eat very limited amount of green veggies.

how does coffee effect you?
**People say if they drink coffee they dont feel like sleeping, this does not hapen with me. If I have to get up the whole night I can without any tea/coffee

what foods hate or will never eat?
**Green veggies; but still eat some amounts.

what foods sensitive to? what is reaction?
**Sweet food is somthing I used to like, but no more. in fact in the morning I can't stand sweet things.

any Gastrointestinal upsets/complaints?.... such as diarrhea, constipation, nausea?
**Light constipation mostly all year round.

any burping,gagging,flatuence,vomitting?when occur?what trigger? how frequent?.
**After eating I do get some 304 burps. No other sympots. And this happen most of the times. My mom says this happens because I eat fat.

what characteristic of stool/urine? anything stand out?..color ..odor..bloody...etc
No everything is normal. But yes when I am on any anti-biotic or whenI feel I am sick I see my urine strong yellow in color, with a shade of light orange.

any complaints/faults going stool/urination? ..painful....frequency...etc
Becasue of light constipation, it hard for me to throw stool, and so I take some 20-30 minutes in the toilet daily. Frequency is normal once a day is fine for me.

Thanks again,
Rajneesh
