I've been diagnosed with RA but in the last few months I've had almost constant nose sores (not dry sores or caused my dryness). One time I did have a sore on the roof of my mouth nothing seemed to irritate it except on occasion when I'd push on it.

You might have lichen plants which is another annoying autoimmune disorder that causes painful little sores on the tongue and mouth. Mine pop up during high stress times. My dentist prescribed Triamcinolone paste that works pretty well. Can cause the insides of your cheeks and gums to be white and lacey.

Methotrexate causes mouth sores. RA doctors recommended that I take folic acid to prevent this, but I still developed the sores. I discontinued the Methotrexate.

I'm not much help with the sores but I recently had some chest pain and tightness and felt short on breath. I ended up having an allergic reaction to a medication so if you have taken a new medication, that could be the reason or if you suffer from anxiety, that could also cause the chest pains. I hope you get some relief soon and your sores go away.

Yes, she said she doesn't think it's RA related and I should call my physician instead..... which is very weird of her usually she more supportive and helps me find answers not turns me away.
