What do you do for canker sores?

by daniel-p in

because mine is hurting like a mofo here... it's at the back of my cheek, where my lower and upper jaw connect,and i can't close my teeth without chomping on it because its swollen out.

my lymph glands under my neck hurt to the touch, the entire side of my head down to my shoulders hurt.. i've tried peroxide mouthwash, salt mouthwash, orajel (which help for about 30 seconds), and aspirin placed on it (which helps for about ten minutes).

today, at work, i put a bunch of salt directly on it which just stung like the dickens for about 10 minutes and now i'm back to square one with the ongoing pain.

THanks for all the replies, everyone.

It's getting a lot better now--I guess it just has to take its course. There were about two days though, where the pain was fairly unbearable, as every once in a while I'd get these waves of pain that gave me flushes and everything. Eating was pretty much undoable.

I'm pretty sure I'm one of the luckier ones, in that I don't get chronic sores. I think this one was caused by me trying to be fastidious in my dental hygiene, as I still have my wisdom teeth and was trying to clean one of them. I think I irritated the cheek tissue above the tooth, and my immune system must have just freaked out. I don't think I was nutritionally deficient... I've been taking the exact same supplements for about 5 months now without missing a day (A, B-complex, C, E, Niacin, Zinc, Garlic, Multi, etc.). Of course, vitamin absorption is another thing, but I am pretty healthy.

As far as what helped, I'm not too sure. For the actual malady, I took lots of acidopholus, and only did anti-bacterial mouthwashes in the morning and at night, with baking soda and/or salt. One of the first things I did when it really started to hurt was to grind in some salt into the sore, and man oh man, that was some serious pain. Just waves and waves of pain. I'm not sure if it did any good. For the ongoing pain, I tried putting baby aspirin tablets directly on the sore (crushed tablets), but that didn't really help. I took tylenol and that helped the general pain around my head and neck. THe best thing, I think, that eased the pain at the site of the sore was cold ice water, and maybe a little piece of ice held up against it. That would at least numb it for a while when I ate.

Anyway, it seems to be going away now, the inflammation is receding, and the general pain is greatly subsiding.

Well, lucky you! It's too bad that THOUSANDS of the people who were battered and molested while in the organization didn't have the same experience.

You should read the blog again. In reality, such people never existed, since the Governing Body always knows what's right, and Jehovah always places trust in his Slave.

I am having some reservations about Barbara Anderson

recently, there was a very nice thread in which one of our posters apologized for having the temerity to challenge barbara anderson.. i thought it was very nice to see that they made up and put the personal stuff aside.. however, i felt the need to call it like i really feel it - i was very put off by the barbara anderson reply in which she plugged her new promotional meeting.

it brought back memories of that horrid little affair from a couple of years back when she kept posting up "the greatest new thing about blood which will bring down the watchtower society is just around the corner -- and i could tell you but then i would have to kill you, etc."..

just like another jehovah's witnesses prophecy about the coming of the lord in our time.. i am beginning to wonder if perhaps the siren song of self-promotion is getting a little too strong for real life.. ok. i said it.. james - and saying it was not the easiest thing that i have ever done.

This is the most pointless thread I've seen here in a long time, so here's another dumb-fucking pointless post.

Also, there's no substitute for blood when you really need it. Regardless, the Society's stance on this is wrong due to archaic adherence to misinterpretation of scripture. But of course, you'd rather die than realize that. We understand. We've all been there.

The Society hasn't produced anything, angel eyes. It's SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY you should thank.

I added a few in the comments section:

24. You can never question the teachings given by the Governing Body. To do so would be considered apostasy, since, despite the fallibility of the Governing Body, they are to be trusted at all times, by every Witness, under all circumstances, with no questions asked. Why, you ask? Stop asking questions.

25. The Bible is not our authority. If the Governing Body teaches something contrary to what the Bible says, they are to be obeyed, not the Bible. And if you make an issue out of this, you will be condemned for being so presumptuous as to know more about the Bible than they do.

26. The Governing Body is the supreme leading body of the organization. You cannot come to an accurate knowledge of the scriptures without submitting to this body and obeying them in everything. This might mean your own death, the death of your loved ones, having to shun your loved ones, or having your loved ones shun you. To not submit to their authority is to jeopardize your everlasting life.

Have a little humility before you start throwing shit around, JWoods, you just might get covered in it.
It washes right off, though - doesn't it?

But still leaves a smell.
