Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 112 | Hi guys, I�d like to know if you can help. I�m on my healing process, eating normaly and still speaking weird. But, this is not the main problem right now... The problem is that I found something strange in my mouth floor, in the same side. I does not seems like an ulcer but as a little cut, a bit inflammed. Didn�t heal since last week. Getting crazy... My appointment is on this thrusday and I�d like to know your oppinion, if it�s just a healling thing or maybe... I don�t wanna be in hell again!

A lot of us, you included have been dealt a hand, play it the best you can, your most evil opponent is fear & depression.
As you live life, one day at a time, you will Triumph over both.
Prayer may help you say things to yourself that might surprise you, and possibly help you feel better, more in control.
