Sore mouth and Humira?

Okay so I’ve had this disease for years and years… On Mtx, leflunomide, naproxen and Humira (as of 3.5 weeks ago).

2 days ago had this crazy thing happen with my mouth. Hard to describe but under my tongue is super raw and super sore. It feels like there is a coat of sandpaper over it when I take my tongue and run it over the bottom gum/ under my tongue.

I can’t see anything, and when I take my finger and rub it feels normal. But when I try with my tongue it feels rough and soooo sore. I’ve had cankers / mouth ulcers with Mtx before but this is very, very different.

ANYBODY out there have this odd " sore mouth" issue on Humira before?
Help?!??! :wink:

I had canker sores on MTX and I’m on Humira, too, now. I’ve noticed the odd sore spot, but nothing like you describe. More like the start of a sore that never materializes.

It's not thrush, is it?

Stoney- no I looked into that and it`s not. But thanks for the suggestion!

Janeatiu- glad you aren`t experiencing THIS whatever it is ;)


Thanks! sorry you're having a tough time. Is your mouth getting any better?

Stoney was right! 2 more days of pain and bleeding gums ( they also suspected platelet levels- but turned out to be thrush!!! Now i can’t take my Humira shot till I’m done the nystatin mouth wash! Yikes the wonders never cease on these drugs!!!

Score on for Stoney! Get well soon, Cocoloco!
