Burning Mouth Syndrome. I have it very severe.

Its awful I've been suffering for 8 years 🙁

I forgot to tell you I have already tried a holistic approach. I was told to soak in hot tub with 1 cup bleach.Didn't help/ I tried bio identical hormones,nope, its not gerd I stopped eating for 4 months just liquids. Please believe me you are wasting your time. I even talked with someone on the internet that said she had all her teeth pulled, and it didn't help. I believed it is caused by damage to one of the cranial nerves that is responsible for taste.All of you will be in my prayers

Hello, I have had burning mouth for over 10 years. I also take klonipin and it helps quite a bit. How much Klonipin are your taking? I developed BMS after an aggressive dental treatment. I think the allergy test sounds interesting.

Gabapentn and Lyrica did not help. Klonipin is the only drug that gives me relief. Find a dentist who specialized in facial pain and has appropriate training. I was often misdiagnosed as having fibromyalgia.

Hello lexie and phyllism, I think that there may be different causes and treatments for BMS. After ten years of trying different methods, I find the greatest relief comes from Klonipin and a laser. I don't think that hormonal testing will help (I had a hysterectomy and there was no change.) Changes in the weather also make a difference as my BMS also involves some arthritis. I have read that women have this condition more often than men.

Any attempts with benetron or monofax...herbal remedies for BMS??

Looking for research or data to show benetron or monofax hermal remedy is safe, my mouth is so sore with dryness, swelling & stinging.

Hi! I´m from Argentina. I got here since I´m investigating on my own over this syndrome. As I am a teacher I use my voice, and my mouth a lot. I´ve told docs that after each class, my mouth burns a lot, I have to get home, drink water, even ice to calm down the pain, I also notice some stickness in my neck. I try not to speak during afternoon so as to get better. On nights I feel my mouth gets dry, and my lips also. Now I´m waiting for the results on Sjorgen Syndrome. We´ll see. Until now docs have said they see nothing bad in my mouth or troat. I´m pleasead to have found this comunity. Hope we could support each other.
