Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 The lady also has Lupus, though apparently there is some thought that these sores aren't the typical Lupus sores. (??) I hadn't heard of such sores associated with MS, though that doesn't mean much and I said I'd ask. lol Thanks Barb. Challis I have heard of many people having trouble swallowing but not so much sores or canchres in the mouth. Do suggest that the person see his/her doctor about the problem.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 My doctor told me I have geographic tongue, which just means that my tongue has different variations of color on it that change periodically. A normal person's tongue is all one color, mine is patches of darker and lighter colors. Nothing you would notice unless you were a doctor looking in my mouth, but sometimes the lighter patches are sensitive to spicy food, or sour or bitter, sweet, whatever. He said it is rare in general, more common but still not very common in a person with MS. Tori Re: Question...

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I think mouth sores and auto-immune problems go together. But more so with other diseases like Lupus and crohns. Then there is this http://health.allrefer.com/pictures-images/lichen-planus-on-the-oral-mucosa.html I've had these sores and just dealt iwth them, but if they return I will see my doc. I wondered what that pattern was. Hope this helps, ShirleyWeavinnRaftin@... wrote: Anyone have experience with, or hear of, mouth sores and MS? I'm asking for someone not on the list, so would appreciate anything you might be able to offer. Challis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
