UIcer outbreak

As you can see from the title, this post is about a very common condition that never fails to ail me at the most inappropriate time. But this time round, it's not just one lousy sore; it has brought its entire extended family along. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so take a look a the pictures and I can spare myself the agony of speaking. Well, I'm not really talking per se when I'm typing but those darn ulcers hurt nonetheless.
















Right side of my tongue. About 6 here.














Left side of my tongue. About 6 too. Hey, talk about even distribution!
















The underside is not spared either. Interestingly, they are evenly distributed here too - 2 on each side. It was 4 initially, anyway. It looks like they are on their merry way to merge to increase their prowess.

So, there you have it. All 16 of them residing on my precious tongue. What started out as tiny bumps have now become full-blown annoyances. This has GOT to be the worst ulcer outbreak ever! I remember telling Dear, "I really don't know which is better: one big one or multiple smaller ones." She replied, "Which hurt more?" "They all hurt the same!" I screamed, nearly ripping my hair off, upset not by her response but by my hapless state.

Am I really helpless? Well, not exactly. There's a way to cure these pesky ulcers quick and I don't mean salt or watermelon frost. Through the innovative use of technology, one can go under the knife and have the ulcers treated instantly. Yup, a surgery but not the conventional type. It's more of a surgery whereby a laser is used to cauterize the ulcers. You can see a simulation of how it works here. I guess I'll go check out the rates for such a procedure before heading down to the dentist to have him/her burn out those irritating sores.
