This wasvery helpful and informative. Thank you. I am 52 year old female with a pinkish/white sore on the tip of my tongue. I am disabled in the USA so I have Medicare but no dental coverage. The sore has been thete for 7 years. and a month ago I got several new ones on my tongue, my soft palate is numb, I am having trouble swallowing, and breathing. I have such severe ear pain it causes daily and now nearly constant migraines. my whole mouth and throat and whole had and neck hurt so much all the time. The ER doctor treated me like a drug seeker. The instacare doctor tested me for strep. it was negative of course... but suggested I see an ENT. Is that where I go? Anyway... I will keep trying till someone listens.

@@Chiraqproductions yes! I saw an ENT who cut a dime sized chunk of my tongue and sent it to pathology testing for cancers, bacterial infections, viral infections, & fungal infection And anything else it could be. But I must say... He was very rude, mean, hurtful. He stuck the needle loaded with lidocaine before putting at least a viscous lidocaine oral topical solution to numb my tongue a little. I asked if he'd provide any pain meds at least for the first dayand maybe even the second day... His response was to get right close to my face and YELL: "NOOOOOO! THIS ISNT GOING TO HURT!!!!" Maybe he thinks im scamming for drugs. I am/was not. What he did was cut my tongue up like a 5yr old did it! And he refused to give me at least one or two stitches. Even when I had told him I take blood thinners! So the wound bled for almost three days. And as soon as his lidocaine wore off.... It was agony! I had to go to the ER to get some relief! Which was enough. But after he gets the diagnosishe left the info on my voicemail and stated that if I had any questions I can call him. Well, I did have questions & I've called his office 6 times. Neither he or anyone from his office ever called me back. Which feels like "patient abandonment. So, I contacted a lawyer who says I have a legitimate case! (There are other physicians and a hospital who actually abandoned me treatment wise. And thank you for reading all this (if you did). The diagnosis is Lichen Planus. Which is an autoimmune disorder. So I may have pain in my mouth for the rest of my life! Ugh. I've begun brushing my teeth 3-5 times a day, rinse mouth with warm salt water. It actually helps the pain. Although, I'm seeing a new ENT tomorrow to address the fluid in mastoid air cells caught by an MRI in early May. Because nobody has tested the fluid to see what is in that fluid & is the infection causing my killer headaches (migraines). Ever since the most intense headaches profound pain and overwhelming fatigue & consistent fevers of 101.8 I sought treatment at four different ER's. One helped me at ER number 2. Prescribed migraine medication and a medicine that treats idiopathic intracranial hypertension... Which is what my PCP said it was his belief that IIH was his diagnosis was. He referred me to a neurologist that I couldn't see for 10 months so I went back to the PCP office and saw another provider who said with a condescending tone and attitude that he did not at all agree that it's IIH AND HE FIRED ME ON THAT DAY! AND WROTE IN HIS NOTES HE SUSPECTS IM AN ANALGESIC MEDICATIONS ABUSER. AND MADE SURE THAT NOTE WAS PROVIDED TO ALL MY DOCTORS AND THE ER THAT HELPED ME ONCE... BUT JUST ONE MONTH LATER (after receiving notice of the PCP's suspicions that I was some junkie looking for drugs everywhere) yet when I begged him for more Rizatriptan (a migraine medication) he said no & he never offered any other migraine medications that aren't as dangerous as triptans no wood he order an LP (lumbar puncture) or order the procedure to check the fluid from my middle ear to check for the source or sources of infection. He flat out said I was being "non-compliment patient" by asking for more migraine medications and asking for them to investigate further. They kept saying that the neurologist should do it. Then fired me. He abandoned me as well. Wouldn't refill ANY of my meds including my blood pressure meds or my migraine medications or many others I can't think of now. And I went from from June 19th to July 22nd. But was out of my meds in the end of June making it almost a months supply and some ran out in early July but the termination letter written on June 19th state he'd end his care of me as of the end of June. Which he didn't do. He ignored every single med requests from me on their system or to their MA's and even the ones from my pharmacy. Anyway you didn't ask for all that. Sorry. I'm just angry and hurt. I mean because of his office note or maybe phone calls or whatever way he chose to defame me worked. My endocrinologist immediately took several drugs that were helping me. I just want to restore my reputation! But I don't know how! So, that is the update. And thank you for reading all this if you did...
