Burning mouth syndrome – anyone else have this?

I've had BMS for about three years. It's horrible!! Am trying hard to not let it ruin my life! I guess time will tell. It started right after I had surgery for dental implants and has never let up. I have wondered for a while now if there was somewhere to talk with other people that have this. I kind of stumbled on this by accident and am really glad that I did. So, I have been to so many doctors and tried so many meds and the only thing that helps me ( and I pretty much live on these!) is Popsicles, hydrocodone and Act Gum(for dry mouth)! It all helps just a little bit!
I'm so sorry to everyone that has this. I truly do understand! Sorry for my venting; but have never met even one other person that gets this. Thanks

@nancyg58 I agree, the gum does help also the Xylimelts help, but again, short term. Mine was also after a long dental visit which involved many teeth. I did narrow it down to tooth 12, but after 3 different crowns and finally an implant it is still there. Nothing has helped. I think when I had the numbing shots a nerve was damaged. I have read that can happen.
