Chronic canker sores are worse than second degree burns on feet. I have been getting 6+ canker sores (and/or sore clusters) at a time since mid-January and rarely have had a single day with no sores since then.
I have tried every paste, gel, liquid, vitamin, and bizarre masochistic remedy I could find. Even the dentist's cauterization didn't work, but rather appeared to cause an additional sore at that site. I've been to the doctor twice and am on my second round of blood work tomorrow. After that: specialists. I'm frantic, desperate, exhausted, and discouraged. Right now I am attempting to eat ice cream and crying. I'm pretty sure everyone around me is sick of hearing about my stupid mouth problem.
I want to curl up and hide for a while.

It's July 28th and I have three sores. I've seen 2 regular physicians, an allergist, a dermatologist, and an oral surgeon.
The topical steroid the oral surgeon gave me seems to speed healing. He also said my body is doing this to itself - not an adversarial alien microbe. I am also experimenting with Prilosec.
Stupid stupid stupid.
