Alpaca, why thank you. Years of "stuff" will do that you. If you heard me trying to talk, I sound like I have a bajillion marbles in my mouth so i'm glad I sound ok on here lol The pain is very slowly going down. I've never healed so slow in my life. I think I will do what you did and hunt down someone like a research specialist.

It really saddens me to come on here and find people more educated than actual doctors. To find people that could have been helped sooner if it weren't for their doctor's lack of knowledge. I am very thankful for all the feedback. I plan to follow up with an ENT or another oral surgeon soon and keep a close eye on things. EricS, thank you for all that information. I have done my research and found the few studies supporting anything helping much, but there was promise with High doses of Lycopene, which I just started in pill form and as for Turmeric, I do take that too, but in a soup kind of form. As that is the only way for it to really absorb into your body at the amount you need.

Getting biopsies probably pisses it off, i'm sure. That was a worry of mine as well. What if we aggravate it? As cancer often comes from constant irritation.

Regardless, I have really odd things that go on in my mouth. My papillae is raised and keeps raising. My last ENT I went to for sinus issues years ago that never really helped, thought nothing of it, but that's for another forum.

Thank you again so much for all your info and patience. There are amazing people here for support and guidance. Smart people. May you all stay well.
