Just got diagnosed with MMP after biopsies. Been dealing with this since March. Suspect it was triggered by blood pressure meds cause it started a few weeks after starting them. Went round and round with Drs who kinda shrugged off when I complained. Finally found a great periodontist. Started on oral steroids for about a week but don’t see much progress. Gums are in pretty bad shape. Still getting blisters across the whole top gum and those steroids are nasty tasting!!! Follow-up next week to see what next treatment will be. Don’t want to do oral steroids. Have seen other meds mentioned on here that I will ask about at my appointment. Only good thing is I have lost 10lbs in the last ten days from limited eating. Living on scrambled eggs, oatmeal, cottage chees,yogurt and protein drinks mostly. At least now I feel like I have someone who understands what I am going thru. Just turned 66, read that this is called old people disease!!
