1024532 tn?1380058352 I am on methotrexate 6 tabs on Sat. I am also on Leucovorin for mouth sores and prednisone. I am now getting more mouth sores so he prescribed a cream or tar to put on them twice daily and to go back to 5 mg of predisone from the 3 mg I had decreased down to. My question is he told me if this doesnt take care of mouth sores then my next step is injections and around $1200 a month. Is their any other oral meds for RA before going to injections so I have mild RA and am seronegative.
Avatar n tn I have never had mouth sores or hair loss. But my whole body is very sick when my breast is flaring and I have other symptoms. I don't recall anyone else every posting with those symptoms. Some rashes and joint pain definitely.
Avatar f tn The other night I was making out with this guy who I like, and I noticed that he had something that felt like a sore on his lip. Later on that night, I gave him oral sex... The next morning I woke up and found that I had a sore on each side of my tongue (they rub against my bottom molars). They hurt and look a little bit like canker sores, but I've never gotten a canker sore on my tongue, so I'm trying to find out if it's something I should be worried about...
1474604 tn?1287028129 I have been getting big sores on my tongue that realy hurt and sometimes bleed a little. I haven't tried anything much to fix them, but I would like some advise.
Avatar f tn Hello, I am a 51 year old Caucasian female with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. How long after stopping methotrexate (MTX), should I continue folinic acid (Leukovorin)? I was on methotrexate for ~1 1/2 years (last 6 month at 20 mg/ week). I had hair fall, then finally frank alopecia and discontinued the MTX one month ago. During the last month of treatment, I asked that my folic acid be changed to folinic acid (Leukovorin).
400099 tn?1282954864 My rheumie for the lupus, and the neuro for myMS are putting their heads together, (I'm blessed with great docs who work together). They are suggesting methotrexate to cover both. According to neuro it is used in secondary progressive. Is anyone here familiar with that drug? I understand it is a mild form of chemotherapy. And, when used for MS, you get a small dose (according to my doc)..nothing compared to the cancer patients. A positive for me is that there would be no more shots.
Avatar m tn I take methotrexate to treat lupus and a side effect of that drug is cold sores on my face. I've been taking 1,000 mg. acyclovir daily for over ten years and it seems to be losing its effectiveness in keeping the cold sores at bay. Has anyone else found that it doesn't work as well after many years? If so, what did you do? My rheumatologist said I can take up to five pills a day but I don't want to do that. Thanks for your help.
470197 tn?1216763716 Then in the last two days I have developed three sores in my mouth (again- not normal for, I never get canker sores- or anything like that.) So today the doc told me that I cannot take Methotrexate this week- or again until the sores are healed. If they aren't healed by next Friday- the 17th of Oct- I am supposed to call her back.
Avatar m tn Its an inflammatory response on the tongue in which the red/white patches of the tongue move around and sometimes results in a burning sensation. It could also be a side effect of one of your medications.

Avatar f tn Katester- I had sores in my mouth & tongue during tx. My Dr prescribed stalin, it worked. It would clear it up within a couple of days. Avoid eating mushrooms. they're a fungus & it will make it worse. Good luck!
Avatar n tn About 5 months ago, I started experiencing small eroded sores on the sides of my tongue where my tongue touches my teeth, near the back of my mouth. These patches have persisted to this day. In the beginning, it was typically just 1 small sore at a time. These sores typically had a very thin white ring around the outside edge and areas grew slowly over a course of several days, until the white ring disappeared and the patches stopped growing.

Avatar m tn ve been tested back in January and June for oral herpes, and both times came back negative. I keep getting what seems to be a canker sore on the side of my tongue, and it appears in the same spot. It's happened 3 times in the past 4 months. I'm afraid it's herpes, what do you think? Is it typical to see recurrent herpes IN the mouth/throat as opposed to the lips/face? Please help!
Avatar f tn I am new to RA. Just got my first prescription for methotrexate. The doctor also gave me folic acid to take to help reduce the side effects of the methotrexate. She said to take the methotrexate on an empty stomach and it would be better to take it at night. That way if you get an upset stomach from it, hopefully you will sleep right through it. She never said how/when to take the folic acid. Do you take it with the methotrexate?

Avatar f tn 1 week after had trouble with memory and consintration. hypertention, numbness to left side of face and tingling/cold tongue, numb lips, trouble with words to even slurring at times. Others just could not think of the words. Facial numbness and lips/tongue lasted for about 2 months. Had cervical fusion to fix the herniated disc. a year later. Still have the hypertension 3 years later and still unable to remember things or stay focused. periods of speech problems still present but come and go.
Avatar m tn They start and take about 10-15 days to heal and typically occur in same areas, back of tongue and tip of tongue. My tongue also feels hot and burns. My dr said she was pretty sure it was herpes virus that caused my cold sore, so i guess spread to the tongue. I did a swab and it came back normal but my dr said thats bc the sores had been there for several days and the swab would need to be done in the first 48hrs. Problem is, in the first two days theres nothing really there.

Avatar n tn s ability to keep viruses out of the blood stream. also I bite my tongue/cheek a lot sometimes causing them to bleed (my tongue had been bleeding earlier on the day in question). I was talking with a friend the other day who is a somewhat promiscuous gay male. I want to make it clear that I am well aware that the vast majority of gay men do not have HIV/AIDS, but realistically I also know they are currently more likely to have it in the US.
Avatar m tn Inflamed papillae can sometimes cause small, painful bumps on the top surface or upper sides of your tongue. Tongue sores are usually caused by trauma, physical injury, bacterial or viral infections, vitamin deficiencies and tonsillitis. If sores are large, painful, or persistent, it is best to consult a doctor. It is best to avoid citrus fruits and acidic vegetables and spicy foods till it is cured.
Avatar f tn Is anyone else having any issues with their mouth? My tongue is sore and it appears to have tiny sores on the sides of it. I also have a metallic numb feeling\taste. I know it sounds weird but its the best description I can give. It is starting to hurt at times when I am eating.
Avatar f tn Hi, Yesterday Had sex with a CSW, where I performed unprotected oral sex on her with sores on my tongue. My Tongue was literally inside her vagina and I would have gulped some amount of Cum as well. My sores have 80% recovered today. Shall I get myself tested or there is any risk you feel? I had performed daty for, 3-5 minutes and also after sex I had used mouth wash after precaution.
