Hi,
I just wanted to ask about mouth ulcers.I am struggling to get a diagnosis.My brother is also ill with joint pain and always has mouth ulcers.My twelve year old always has horrible mouth ulcers too which are very painful.I've heard that Lupus ulcers are usually painless,is that true?my son is always cold and tired and is showing signs of raynauds.He also has permanent sore patches at the sides of his nose(where the creases are) and more recently he seems to injure his joints really easily.My 5yr old has leg pains,recurrent sinus and ear infections and a patchy tongue.I can't help feeling that theses things are pointing towards lupus or some other autoimmune thingy but as my doctor has said that I am looking for a reason for my symptoms through my children
and doc.C at st.thomas's doesn't think I have anything autoimmune going on I'm at a bit of a loss.My husband had to take the children to the doc because of the way he treats me
.please excuse the rant.
Anyway, any info on ulcers would be good ,thanks,
Julsie
