Burning mouth syndrome

Posted by honduranexpat @honduranexpat, Jan 31 5:15pm

I was diagnosed with Burning mouth syndrome 4 years ago. It has progressively become worse. I have been given so many different medicines that I can hardly count them and none of them are effective. I'm in counseling now, read all I can about upcoming research. I'm just looking for someone to talk to about it

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Support Group.

@linda1976 I also had dry mouth due to my SFN but that resolved on its own.

I have recently been diagnosed with burning mouth syndrome. I am sure that it is because my mouth is so dry. I have recently been given medication to stimulate my salivary glands Cevimiline. I start today. Has anyone used this medication for dry mouth?

I have had BMS since having Covid back in January of 2020, it appeared about 3 weeks after I was sick. I had a severe case of Covid and I am a long COVID person …. It’s all over the place, sometimes my tongue burns to the roof of my mouth….I am also a diabetic… somedays I can’t focus… I still don’t have full taste or smell, only maybe 20%… sometimes when I do taste, my mouth taste like I sucked on Pennies… please any advice !!!!!!’
