I FEEL YOUR PAIN!

I, too, suffered and still do suffer from canker sores. As soon as my braces went on a year ago to this day, i still have them! I always have at least one in my mouth. I suffered from them before the braces but not this bad. I have tried EVERYTHING: Peroxyl rinse, Canka, L-Lysine, etc. In fact, you mention some things that I have not tried! I use wax whenever I get a sore so that the bracket isn't rubbing up against the sore directly and that helps. The one thing that has helped more than anything else is Durham's Canker Rid. Its made with bee pollen and I found it while researching canker sores on the web. The link for ordering is http://www.canker-rid.com. The bottle lasts about six months and based on my experience with the product, it reduces the amount of time that the canker sore lasts. It does help with the pain, too. I hope that this helps!

Hopefully by now your canker sores have gotten better.
Everyone has suggested most everything. Take L-Lysine every day, and also I have researched online about foods that trigger canker sores and chocolate is in the top 3. The others are nuts and wheat products. I guess it's just what you are allergic to, so you might have to experiment.
Try and remember what you have eaten ALOT of lately - like if you love chocolate - that might be one of the problems.
Good Luck - hope you feel better soon !
