Question 1

what is the definition or description of: painless mouth sores?

Accepted Answer

Herpes Simplex: Good day;
  Cold sores cause millimeter, fluid-filled lesions also known as fever blisters to occur periodically. In youngsters they may be caused by stress; in adults they may be passed from person to person by kissing or sex. Cold Sore triggers include stress, fatigue, cold weather, dental trauma and weakened immune condition. Medications improve comfort but don't cure cold sores.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

2 separate problems: 1. A sinus infection or inflammation can cause a toothache, especially in the upper molars. These problems should be managed by your PCP or ENT. 2. Mouth sores (aphthous ulcers) are painful sores inside the mouth. The sore may be painful for three or four days, but complete healing usually takes ten to fifteen days. Canker sores may recur many times each year. No cure is available.

Question 3

why do lupus patients get nose n mouth sores?

Accepted Answer

Autoantibodies: Autoimmune diseases like lupus result in autoantibodies that attack your own body in error rather than bacterial or viral pathogens which are supposed to be targeted.This form of attack will manifest itself as sores in mucosal tissues including the nose and mouth.The exact mechanism may be an attack on the mechanism that holds the skin to underlying tissues allowing it to peel away creating sores.

Question 4

i was told prev blood work showed i have lupus, but now am in remission. i've had severe body aches and mouth sores again. am i having a flare up?

Accepted Answer

Lupus: Lupus is a chronic autoimmune systemic disorder and can have quiet periods with acute intermittent flares. Mouth sores with severe body aches necessitates reevaluation for acute flare . Though mouth sores and severe body aches could be from other sources, evaluation for lupus flare could help control inflammation with  early intervention to minimize symptoms improve healing if it is lupus induced.

Question 5

Usually not.: Pain is usually minimal, but patients have had more painful sore ulcers in the mouth. Aflare in herpes is also more likely in sle! see someone in rheumatology.

Question 6

can you please tell me why lupus patients get mouth sores? i just had my first one .

Accepted Answer

Autoimmune: It is an autoimmune disease and can affect the mucus membranes of the mouth.  Treatment usually involves steroids and making sure there is not something that is being put in the mouth that causes a reaction.

Question 7

ana 1:320, pain all over, mouth sores, nose sores, extreme fatigue. pcp thinks lupus, but my dsdna was 1 point away from equivocal. could it be lupus?

Accepted Answer

RASH?: You certainly describe symptoms of such, but an immunologist and histo-pathologist must be brought into the diagnostic mix. Good luck!

Question 8

i have antiphospholipid antibodies greater than 150, false positive syphilis, positive ana, mouth sores and joint pain.  i think lupus? dr thinks ra.

Accepted Answer

Need more tests: Would need results of more antibody testing including rheumatoid factor, anti smith and anti double stranded dna. There are also "overlap" syndromes that have characteristics of more than one autoimmune disease.

Question 9

homogeneous ana 1:320  neg double strand dna. fatigue, mouth sores, history pericardial effusion , reactive airway, knuckle pain, is this typical of lupus?

Accepted Answer

It does indeed: Whether you meet the criteria for lupus or not, this sounds suspicious. Tube tests like dsdna are often done wrong and i would let a rheumatologist's judgement have sway here when it comes to a treatment decision.

Question 10

chronic joint pain/swelling, numbness, fatigue, migraines, mouth sores, swollen lymph nodes, weight loss, pain when breathing, nausea. lupus?

Accepted Answer

Or something else: Lupus and other connective tissue diseases can share these symptoms. Infection followed by malignancy are less likely but not impossible. Either way, you as a 25 year old female should see a rheumatologist, or alternatively internist if rheum is not readily available. Early treatment is advised.
