Useful info. That helps to explain why I haven't had a canker sore since I quit coffee.

Get a prescription for a mild sedative. 0.5 Klonopin or something. Less people will think you've got the herp.

I work in a Pharmacy and one of the Pharmacist that i work with said that drinking butter milk will get rid of a canker sore. You'll have to be the one to tell me if it works or not cuz I can't remember if I've ever had one, so I've never tried it.

Everybody stresses.. But after reading Aurora's post, it seems that he's found the cause of and solution to your problem.

Stop drinking so much damn coffee..

If you find that you can't wake up without it, you've got an unhealthy dependency on it. Pick a long weekend or vacation to try and shake the addiction.

actually i only drink one cup of coffee, 2 max. I usually make it a bit strong, but not espresso strong. I've had days where i didnt drink coffee at all and it didn't bother me much, but i prefer drinking it cuz it's a faster "wake up" sort of thing. Plus i mix my coffee with different flavors so i enjoy it at any time.

Take a vitamin called lysine. In excess. They'll be gone in a day or two.

QFT. I've gotten these for a few years, and after a combination of lysine and Orajel, they were pretty much gone in a few days. MarkRyan, you can get lysine at any pharmacy for a few bucks.

I got some kind've viral infection in my mouth once, no idea from what but my dad had when at relatively the same time. The whole inside of my mouth (around the cheek) area split open like somebody had taken a razor-blade to it. It was pretty painful and lasted for about a week, I was popping pain relievers every 2 hours or so. Mostly though I get the occasional sore in my mouth and I have a nasty habit of chewing on my lip and sometimes rip skin off.
