@alpaca There may be no cure for autoimmune diseases, but there are some adequate treatments for other conditions in this category (e.g., diabetes). The several doctors in my experience know nothing about these conditions (especially BMS), and want nothing to do with them. A top specialist in oral pathology in NYC told me there is nothing to do with BMS, it usually goes away by itself, except sometimes it doesn't. And so I was dismissed.

@jshdma I heard the same thing about OLP 10 - 15 years ago. My mother had lupus. Cortisone relieves symptoms but long term causes huge problems. I will ask an oral medicine specialist here in NZ about BMS when I see her next. I'm a patient rep on a committee she is on. She is not the sort of person to give up on people.

@jshah the specialist sounds very rude! Have you thought about a dental specialist? He/she might have some ideas or know of a good doctor to send you to. A dentist who’s been around for awhile. I’ve used the dexamethazone mouthwash for tongue ulcers from steroids. It’s expensive, but it works
