Finally, a cure!

I've been wanting to write this post for some time, but other stuff just got in the way. But now here it is!

I can't even remember when I tried this ulcer remedy, it was so long ago. But thanks to this, I can pinpoint it to a month ago. :P

And it worked, so I shall reveal it here:

Bactidol mouthwash, recommended by Peter, who seems to be as ulcer prone as (or maybe more than) I am
(I am not sponsored by either Bactidol or the store I bought it from)

For all those who are too lazy to read the post I linked above (haha), I have a big problem with ulcers...and I have tried loads of remedies which just never worked (even when it worked for other people). So for some time I had been leaving my ulcers run their course...which usually gets really painful at one point. :( (and I then call them "those monsters in my mouth")

So I was kinda reluctant to try this remedy...but one day, with two ulcers starting in my mouth, I just went "Argh, let's try it!" (inwardly, not out loud :P )

And in just about five days (FIVE DAYS, as opposed to weeks!!), my ulcers were as good as gone (somewhere at the end of "Stage 5"). What's more, they didn't hurt at all since I started using the mouthwash. (they were probably too numb...more on that later)

My friend told me to gargle once every few hours. I didn't, because I couldn't be bothered :P Instead, I gargled each night before bed.

The first time I gargled, my tongue and mouth were numb for hours. After a few times using it, I noticed that the tip of my tongue was the numbest of all...the rest of my mouth would be okay a lot sooner. So the final few times I used the mouthwash, I dipped the tip of my tongue in water after gargling (after all, I was using the mouthwash for my ulcers, not for my tongue...) That sure helped :P

That was also one of the reasons I didn't want to gargle more often than once a day...if I did, I would probably never have any feeling in my mouth at all! lol (at least till my ulcer heals :P )

I haven't had any ulcers since (which is a GOOD thing!), so I can't say whether it was just a lucky fluke that this worked...but I think it does. 'Cos I've never had an ulcer go away so fast. :)
