Oral lichen Planus: What home remedies or medications help you?

Laurie,
You have had too much time without proper diagnosis…. How horrible:( I feel really bad for you. I had biopsy and it takes 2 weeks to get patho and histology so I get results this Thursday and will let you know. Mine was sent to Florida University Oral Path lab… supposedly excellent but I’m very untrusting with this mouth mess so I’m having one done at UMKC at the recommendation of doc friend who was misdiagnosed with leukoplakia. Sometimes I think they just don’t know or can be wrong:(
On another note… I had zero pain after my biopsy that was done on my gums. He pulled six pieces and I was fine so think you will be good:)))
Best wishes, Thais really is tiring and scary for you… I know too well.
I’m a nurse so I recommend one thing … get your Shingles vax as when you talked steroids, they hurt your immune system and ya sure don’t want to add insult of shingles.

@steveandsteph Thanks so much for your response! It's certainly a real bonus that you had no pain with your biopsies but mine might be on my tongue and inner lips, where all the problem is, would they not? I'm very immunocompromised due to 4 or 5 other autoimmune conditions (GCA, Crohns, etc.) so, unfortunately, I've been advised not to have the shingles vax. I wish I could though.
I hope you'll get convincing results from your biopsies! It's such an awful affliction we've got. Warmest wishes, Laurie

Prolly should not have recommended Shingrex but ask your doc and steroids and immunity:))
