I was referred to an oral pathologist through my family dentist. Unfortunately, the main drug for keeping it under control is prednisone.

In my case it was with me for almost 5 years but I was on a maintenance dose of 5 to 10mg of prednisone during that timeframe. If I stop the prednisone, it would come back. It’s unbelievable what stress will do to your body. Surprisingly, it went away as fast as it came? The specialist that I saw told me that they first started noticing this disease in young men going to war in WW1.

@duncan78 may I ask if you have any digestive issues? It has been 1.5 yrs for me and I’ve had every test imaginable. The Bravo pH test revealed low stomach acid for me after the gastro put me on PPIs and Blockers and it was so much worse for 90 days until I stopped them and had the Bravo test so those acid blockers were such a bad thing to be on since I didn’t have high stomach acid. Stress is such a killer! Did your primary doctor manage your prednisone or did you continue to see oral surgeon or pathologist? Thanks again for some insight.
