Would be funny if it weren`t true.........my mouth is bloody killing me.

Day 19 as a non-smoker and am tickled pink........have committed to NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF, but........despite me having nothing but praise for the nicotine gum.......the bloody stuff is causing me suffering........the insides of my cheeks are killing me, as if the skin has come off, either with all the bloody chewing or I have become sensitive to the gum.......is the strong 4 mg one. Anyone experienced this? An suggestions for relief ? The gum is fab, but for this..........

Is the hole in my face that so often landed me in trouble throughout my drinking career, gabby. I talked such a lot of crap when drunk :H

LMAO Starllight!! I used to literally burn my mouth out with the extremely high alcohol consumption near the end of very long benders.... the doc prescribed me a liquid medication that I would use about 5mls of, swish it around my mouth and then spit out - it was very relieving and soothed my sore GOB no end. Sorry as I cannot remember what it was called. Much empathy with you, darl....Or else you could gargle asprin...
Worth a try..

I empathise with you - I was unable to eat bread and many other solids....in those days I would also be shaking INCREDIBLY with DTs - and they would give me warm soup or milk drinks, 1/2 full and with a lid and a straw!!! Shite, I have come a wee way since those hellish days of withdrawl.

Hi Star! Totally know where you're coming from here! I have had many an ulcer from the gum, it does burn a bit...I have only ever had the 2mg...but it does get better I think your mouth hardens to it...Well, I havent had a sore gob for a few years now!
I put bonjella or something on mine, it numbs for enough time to get a bit of gum going!!
Hope yours gets better soon hun x

Well done on 19 days NF Star!!

Have you tried rinsing your mouth with a teaspoon of salt dissolved in warm water? I know it helps my BIL.... worth a try.

Star,

No experience with this, but, if you just put the gum in your mouth, and consiously don't chew, I would think you would still get the same effect. It may not help if the ingredients of the gum are irritating the tissue on the inside of your cheeks, but soundls like the chewing may be doing it. Either way, it is worth a try. Contratulaitons on kickin the butts in the butt! Whatever it takes! Have you thought about Chantix? Good luck!
