No, I know undue stress can be a trigger, but I wasn’t experiencing anything other then everyday stress, which is plenty. I am leaning towards allergic or environmental reaction so maybe this is a combination of allergic reaction and OLP. It was sudden and pronounced. After doing some research, I have learned that beta blockers, hydrochlorothiazides and even ibuprofen can cause an allergic response. And this can happen after years of use. I have been taking a atenolol to control blood pressure. So it may be a matter of allergic response with OLP symptoms. I have an appointment with a dermatologist because there seems to be more than one thing going on. Thanks for your responses. The experiences of people on this site really help to move along in the process of diagnosis, healing and coping.

@shelmadine I had also been told about beta blockers, meloxicam and ibuprofen as triggers/allergies or start of disease after years of use. I agree about this board, it has been helpful to me in several ways especially community. This disease is incredibly isolating and there are no normal pathways or support groups. I really hope your dermatologist appointment goes well! Share what you find out if you are comfortable with that. Take care.
