The maalox just works as a coating to make your tongue feel better but
the benedryl elixer helps heal the bumps. Finally some relief. p.s.
use equal parts of each."

try this for your mouth it will help also make sure both are liquids and swish for 30 sec and spit out do this every 4 hours

he gave me Lexapro and also Xanax. I am taking the xanax just every once in a while. Will start the lexapro for a month next week. Talked to the infectious disease doctor and he told me I don't need any of them - just start working out and relax, which I am doing - but burning and dryness in throat and mouth still there so hard to pretend they don't exist.

Really I am not freaking out in a mental way just concerned when i see these things in my mouth. But it is not fun. You are right.

Thank you. I will try it tomorrow. Will discuss the rest - esophagus burning, tongue and the red spots on the roof of mouth with doctor on Wednesday and let you know what he said.

None of these would be concerning issues if I didn't also have that meningitis type attack a week after contact and also the non painful canker sore last week.  Of course the fact that they have lasted for this long it is concerning. I don't necessarily feel sick as a cold or flu - just have this feeling of burning - it is also in my hands and chest to the point that sometimes my nipples hurt. So I do feel that I have an infection in my and no doctor can pin point it at the moment...

The negative RNA and antibody at 25 days is relaxing but a little early. Doctor said that if the meningitis type of headache I had ! week after the contact was indeed related to HIV it would have showed up in the RNA. I believe him.

We'll see... Thank you again.
