To Ruth

[Guest guest]

Hi Ruth,

I hate the mouth sores too. The only way I can get rid of them is to

alternate gargling with salt water and listerine. The salt water

helps heal it, and the listerine kills the germs. Be careful to only

use a very small amount of salt or you'll pickle it, and no one wants

that.

Hope it heals up soon.

> Hey all well I had the EGD and colonoscopy done today. My Dr.

wanted them done cause I am anemic and when I stop the iron tablwets

I continue to be so.

>

> A few polyps in the colon that the Dr. removed. He said no cancer.

>

> He found several spots of bleeding in my stomach. NO MORE ANTI-

INFLAMMATORIES.

>

> I wonder just what the heck I am supposed to take. Sheesh.

>

> The Ibupropher never made my stomach hurt or anything. I really

think it was the iron. Within 2 weeks of starting the iron I was

almost doubling over in pain so I stopped it.

>

> Also, 2 days ago I developed sores on the hard palate in my mouth.

I think the body is revolting on me. My face looks horrible again.

I was outside a big portion of Sunday afternoon for my daughters

birthday party.

>

> I was afraid they were going to cancel the tests this morning when

they took my temp. the nurse looks at me and says you have a low

grade fever. Well, nothing new I told her. It has been there for

months now.

>

> I will have results of biopsies in one week from my primary Dr. I

am gonna bug him and see what I can take in place of hte anti-

inflammatories.

>

> ALSO, Does anyone here have any suggestions for the sores in the

mouth. They are on the roof in the hard palate. I am not sure what

to do for them.

>

> Thanks
