This roller coaster of lip burning pain is exhausting. After a couple of days with less pain, I woke up with intense burning. As I try to think about what was different between the previous days and last night/this morning, there isn’t much. I did return to the gym after a 2-week forced break. I go first thing in the morning – 6 a.m., so I doubt that could have anything to do with late night/next morning pain.

I didn’t have any alcohol last night, no wine or any type of drink. I ate my usual stuff, nothing new. No added stress to my life. We’ll see how the rest of the day goes. I might update if it improves or worsens.
