Burning mouth syndrome – anyone else have this?

I've been suffering from bms for a year. It's driving me crazy. Most times my whole mouth burns. I'm constantly moving my tongue feeling my teeth and cheeks. I've become so conscious of the movement and hate to go in public.
I had c diff first and the bms started about the same time. With having both these things I was a mess mentally. I've been to many different doctors with no help. I pray to find help and become normal again. I'm a 76 year old female.

@sanfan First, I wouldn't wish this on anyone. It's miserable and seems to be untreatable. I do know that no spicy foods, or hot foods to the touch of the tongue can be tolerated. And it seems to cause a flare up. I was fitted for a night guard to wear at night. It's calmer in the morning with it, but then again it usually is calmer in the morning. I just started Alpa Lipoid Acid 600 mg. It's over the counter. I have been reading that in studies it has shown about 60% helpful. At this point I will try anything. Let me know if you have tried it and I will let you know if it starts to help.
