@kathyacurl
Were you officially diagnosed and what specialist did you see for the diagnosis? What are your symptoms and triggers?

Do you take any medication for this? Did you start this after having Covid? Did you ever have shingles, Epstein Barr virus or herpes virus? Viruses that lay dormant can be reactivated with certain triggers.

I would get burning lips/mouth after having dental work or when under significant stress.

Did you get checked for prediabetes/diabetes glucose and A1C levels recently?

I’ve had this problem for years now and can’t get any Dr to hear me and address the problem. They don’t seem to think that it’s a problem and they don’t know what to do about it, so they’re just trying to ignore it. Now they tell me that I have a lump on my easophagus and that scares me because that cancer is bad. I’m going to get tested this week. I hope and pray that it is not cancer, but my gut tells me it is. I have all of the symptoms.

Hi @kathyacurl, I merged your discussion with an existing discussion titled:

"Burning mouth syndrome – anyone else have this?"
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/burning-mouth-syndrome-anyone-else-have-this/

@londonex started this discussion looking for others who have experience with burning mouth syndrome. Here, you can also meet @diannesmcneill, @carolinlv and @joebrock who discuss burning mouth syndrome and how they have managed it.
