@microgirl It frightens me to my core also! As for stress... I don't feel stressed although when this all started I was under a bit, I was dealing with a freakishly bad sciatica situation I had never had and using a lot of Motrin that was coming so close to a year long trip we had planned. Thank God for the chiropractor that took me in.
I was doing pretty well for 2-3 weeks after using my triamcinolone paste for the first time for 2 wks, no blisters have come back.
This week the gums are becoming red and inflamed again with occasional blood while brushing, so I am using the paste again.
I have not been back to the ENT since they did the buccal swab and prescribed this stuff, she suspects OLP as does my doctor. So I can see that happening soon as I will run out of the paste and then what, plus I want to discuss the biopsy as you said.
I really like the idea of a rinse. This stuff really ruins the taste of food though, but I suspect it all will. I'm in the beginning of my journey here and cheers to a stress free year!
Best of luck !
