Italia, uomo, 31 anni, 60 kg, non fumatore. Sportivo, da sempre alimentazione sana. Ciao a tutti. Da inizio 2023 ho costantemente ulcere orali, macchie rosse e piccoli rigonfiamenti in bocca. All’inizio erano numerose e molto dolorose; oggi la situazione è più “leggera” ma persiste: di solito

I’ve been on biologics over 25 years. I’ve managed to lead a full life after diagnosis: corporate career, two kids, world tr
