Hi Larry –
So sorry to know this has been going on so long! The nurse in me is curious if anyone has explored the potential “cause” with you? There is a list here of a number of the secondary things - have you been through such a list and eliminated them? I would see a functional medicine doctor or good naturopath! Take this list along to whomever you do see….don’t give up! http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/burning-mouth-syndrome/basics/causes/con-20029596 Kay From: Larry Willis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 8, 2015 6:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [QUAD-L] More stuff For over four months now I have been dealing with what my dentist calls burning mouth syndrome. I had never heard of it until my tongue/lips began to feel like I had chugged scalding coffee. Any food even slightly spicy is just torture. Even cold water and toothpaste feel like hot pepper. The doc has given me diflucan and prednisone and neither helped. Biotene is the only toothpaste that doesn't make my eyes water. I can only tolerate bland food ....and I can barely taste anything. It's about to bring me down. It's not enough that everyday is a stretch of hell, we have to pile more sh-t on top of it. I've had about all I can take guys. I say a prayer every night that I won't wake up the next morning. I'm sorry to lay all this on you guys. Some of you have problems that make mine look tiny. Thanks for listening/reading my ranting. God bless each of you. Larry
