Have you ever had anything that really bothered you about yourself?I have a small white mouth ulcer on my tongue it has got quite large but not enourmous so,it was not going with any medication I took.So off to the doctors and he sent me to the oral department at my local hospital.I attended the appointment today,I don't mind admitting being terrified,of all the things I have had wrong with me this was the worst,affected my speech.sometimes getting caught in my front teeth.My friends dragged me out of the house saying you are fine you cannot stay in like this.The doctor told me today it was a harmless cyst and he was going to chop it off for me next tuesday with no problem at all.I will have the same injection as at the dentist,he will make a small inscision in my tongue.remove it and stitch it with a disolvable stitch no problem.My friend almost had to carry me out of the hospital.I was so releaved it was going to be such a simple thing.It is going to be sore for a while and I will have to be carefull what I eat for a week or two.Have you been like me at fifty something about the age I think.Come on lets hear your stories.xx

Thanks for your words of comfort appparently it is caused by trauma or sharp front teeth,biting of the tongue.It is going to be saw but it will not affect my typing ,so I shall carry on with a mouth that looks like a bout with casius clay in the boxing ring.I was like that as well up to three years ago,I could climb a mountain.Never mind will find other things to do now,Thanks for response love suzzy.xx

I did not want to go to the doctors, but I found that I was getting up and going to the washroom too often and also I just could not lose weight even though I walked a lot and also I was so tired. And I had always been scared because the last time except when I fell and broke my wrist, was because of female problems, I have a tendency to get ovarian cysts and there is always a risk of chop chop take it all out. I did have a doctor once who decided to remove my tubes or cut them off so that they were useless on the lie that it would save my life. But I did have diabetes or beginners diabetes.

Ovarian cysts are awful I had one a few years ago but it burst on its own,very nasty,We have to trust the doctor.It seems strange that he lied about cutting your tubes would save your life,it would make your life better without all that pain ,maybe that is what he wanted for you.I will just be glad when it is all over,thanks for response .xxx
