ihad burning mouth as well but the dentist had never heard of it =no dental reason he said - then i discovered that the only time I had it was when I drank wine which i didnt do every day nor in great amounts but even with a sip i got the burninng mouth. This was very new since i was already in my mid 60s and had been drinking wine since my mid 20s =I traveled a lot in Europe in those days and never experienced a burning mouth drinking wine in Italy or France. I gave up all drinking 8 years ago so the burning mouth is no more but neuropathy is. I suspect that wine here is filled with things other than grapes for shelf life but that is just a guess and no doubt is not your problem. It sounds as if you were more adept at finding your problem yourself - good for you. Your nerve damage from shingles sounds awful - I dont think I ever had chicken pox - measles yes - so have not done the vaccine -
