Hi @steveandsteph, welcome. I moved your message to this existing discussion about oral lichen planus.

- Oral lichen Planus: What home remedies or medications help you?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/oral-lichen-planus-3/

I did this so you can connect easily with fellow members like @maryz @cmtg @bustrbrwn22 @robinkani @fdixon63 @rashida @artist01 @jshdma @microgirl @chari9 @SusanEllen66, who have experience with OLP.

Steve/Steph, you ask specifically "Can I take Shingles vax with OLP?" That is a very good question and best answered by a physician. You PCP should be able to talk to you about the risks and benefits, and when to get vaccinated.

I believe @chari9 spoke about having OLP and shingles simultaneously and that's rough. I'll be interested to hear what you learn.

How low have you been dealing with oral lichen planus?

I've had what we think is oral lichen planus for 5 months. Just got biopsy today to confirm.

Hi Steve and Steph. I've had painful lesions since 2020 with 2 or 3 diagnoses, 5 or 6 prescription meds, 4 or 5 doctors, and no definite diagnosis. One of the most eminent doctors thinks it is NOT Oral Lichen Planus. I've recently been confirmed by testing and diagnosed as having IBD, with very high inflammation markers. I know that UC and Crohns can have this symptom and have suggested it several times to my doctors. I finally have a long-requested appointment with an oral surgeon for a biopsy on October 19th!
I'd be grateful if you could tell me if you have the result of your biopsy yet. Also, were you laid up afterward with pain and not too able to eat, talk, etc. for a while?
I had a traumatic experience years ago with a tongue biopsy that ended up with hospitalization that night from excessive bleeding and blood transfusions. Very painful for a few weeks afterward. Needless to say, I'm a bit nervous for this new biopsy procedure. Lol.
Warm regards, Laurie
