Burning Mouth Syndrome. I have it very severe.

Does anyone have symptoms along with their BMS that your mouth feels like there are thick strings in it, sometimes more prickly things that feel very sharp between your teeth and gums. You try to pull them out with your tongue but there is no end. Relief comes from magic mouthwash but is only temporary. I take gabapentin 900mg/ day, alpha lipoic acid, Lexapro with not much relief. I have been to an oral pathologist, neurologist and don’t know where else to go.

Have an esophagus scope. I finally did. After which I was diagnosed with gastritis with hyperplasia, acid reflux, bile reflux, and Barrett’s. Treatment with Prilosec OTC two 20 mg twice daily and sucralfate liquid 10 ml twice daily and at bedtime and following all guidelines online for reflux, eating, drinking, and sleeping, gave me relief after two months of treatment gave me relief. Took patience as after 30 days of treatment I only saw a slight improvement in burning mouth. After 69 days I was able to stop all the other medications I had been taking for burning mouth the past almost 4 years. I have had to switch PPI’s three times because of side effects so now take Nexium and I do have to stay at the higher dose of two 20 mg Nexium OTC twice daily and sucralfate liquid 10ml 3 times daily and at bedtime. If I do get a burning breakthrough I take Pepsid complete OTC no more than twice daily. Life is good again!
