The + & the - of having oral troubles...

[thedarksiren2]

well, the bonus is I lost more weight in one week than I have in a single week since the first few weeks I began dieting.


The minus? Pain, pain and more pain.

I have successfully (meaning, without pain) eaten tepid runny oatmeal and soup (although the broth was really the only thing that didn't hurt). I am thinking I could likely tolerate scrambled eggs, but even trying to eat cake last night hurt, and today cottage cheese hurts. It may just be too cold, but blech! Who wants to eat room-temp cottage cheese???


this just sucks.

Maybe if I just stick to tea for a few days, tea and coffee at room-temp...



*sigh*

I'm in pain, but not sick...then again, that's relatively speaking.~;P

I figured a few people would get the same impression you did...trying to keep the humor alove despite my angst.~8)

thanks.

ouch! sending you "THROAT FEEL BETTER PRONTO" juju. *smile* see you tonight.

it's not my throat, it's the roof of my mouth. I seemed to have really scalded it the other day, and it's since peeled like a sunburn and just sucks ass.

thanks for the good ju-ju.

Tonight indeed, although I have no idea what I'll be able to drink.~8(

it sounds kinda stupid, but try to find some plain old aloe gel - no aditives - it'll help slick your mouth down (and it'll laso help slick things on the way out. . .) but maybe with that to ocat the burn a little you might be able to eat some more. . . that or maybe some whole milk - something to coat the owies. If it stays insanely bad, your doc should be able to get you a lidocaine supension meant for your mouth - it doesn't last long, but enough to get food down.

*good juju* I get chronic canker sores - you have my sympathy.

Dude, aloe in my mouth sounds really really eww. I mean, I understand the concept, but seriously it sounds gross.

I don't have health insurance right now or I might have gone to the doc about it. I've had the oral suspension shtuff before because I had a massive allergic reaction to echinacea and my whole mouth was covered in ulcers as a result. talk about suck-ass!

Thanks for the ideas and good ju-ju! Always appreciated!

I noticed you have cicadas listed in your interests, and I thought maybe you might want to add the rss feed I just made to your friends list: cicada_feed. Enjoy. :)

YAY! Thank you! This is awesome!

You should go visit renwick too...he'd appreciate this!~8)

ha! were you listening to the pixies set from coachella when you typed this? That was so cool: in heaven is sort of a rare B-side and i was suprised they played that. So nice though.

Someone over in davidlynch mentioned a site where you could find the song disguised as a jpg, and I had never heard the Pixies version of it, which is apparently from Eraserhead.

It's fun and cute. I still like the more twisted version Miranda Sex Garden does better though!~8)

How was Coachella?
