I too have lichen planus everywhere. Does anyone have anything they use for numbing your mouth so you can enjoy normal food every once in a while?

When I used to bite my tongue and cheek from so many seizures. I used Lidocaine spray.

OMG @bustrbrwn22! It's SO good to hear from you. I thought I was the only one in the world suffering with lichen planus. I've had it since mid-December and having a terrible time finding things I can eat, or finding something to ease the pain.
I've been experimenting with applying CBD Oil (30/1 cbd.thc) directly to the lesions and I'm finding the pain is lessened and the lesion heals a bit faster. Of course, more lesions keep appearing. It's so frustrating. I've used Orajel, to numb before eating. I just researched that article about Turmeric capsules, so I've bought some today and will start that regime tomorrow. My son read about swishing the mouth with organic Sesame Oil, so I also bought that today to try. If I sound desperate, it's because I am!
Do you also have GCA like I do? These are both autoimmune diseases. Just what we needed, right?
Take care. Thinking of you.
