Hello and hope you are doing well.

Understand your predicament. But persistent oral ulcers could be due to systemic causes like pemphigus vulgaris, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and malignancy. Pemphigus vulgaris can cause non healing oral ulcers with systemic lesions. They could also be due to certain autoimmune disorders or medications. A biopsy may help. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Meant to add you might do an Internet search on tongue disorder photos and see if you find something similar

That sounds miserable and I sure know what it's like not to get a diagnosis!  Has anyone done a culture or biopsy?  Are you taking any medications?  If it were me, I would be seeing a good oral surgeon and an ENT doc.  Hope you can get a resolution
