Hello @josieloo32

This sounds very uncomfortable. Have you lost weight due to the discomfort? While I've never had this problem myself, I'm just wondering if you have talked with your dentist about this symptom?

Have you found any triggers for the BMS? For example: Is there anything, in particular, that might make the burning worse or lessen the discomfort. Does it keep you awake at night? Is it better or worse any particular time of day?

I'm also thinking that you might keep a journal of foods and drinks to see if you can find some triggers for the burning sensation.

I will answer all of your questions. The morning is ok. For breakfast I have cream of wheat banana, and sugar free peaches and tea. Sometimes I have a peanut butter and jelly or ham and cheese sandwich. I had an implant done. That was done after BMS. From 3 o’clock to 5 it is bad so I swish my tongue with 2 percent Lidocaine. Sometimes it helps to eat something. Sometimes I have a Halls cough drop. After a trying bland dinner it starts to not sting or burn, practicing deep breathing helps When I lay down and I am ready to go to sleep, I don’t feel anything. I find I can not eat salted foods, tomato sauce, or citrus. Applesauce and apples are very tasty. Before I couldn’t taste anything. I started to drink hot water. I noticed that when I stick to my sugarless diet the burning subsides. Hope this answers some questions. Yes It helps me to communicate with others knowing that I am not alone.
