no they have not heard of it-- The Pain Clinic I go to has-- My doc gave me a copy of the Cochran report. I am on all of the mentioned drugs with no success.

My GP has another patient with it (poor her) but he knows how debilitating it is -- so he will give me anything I want -- within reason--Try Cochran report + BMS

I am a 55 year old woman who has had this for 13 years. It is devastating and has completely changed my life...I belong to a group of woman on line who have this and we are trying to figure out how to treat this. I have decided to go to a holistic dr to get bioidentical hormones. I think it's either that or from GERD, something going on in our digestive track. will be gettng my kit for hormonal testing...will post my results.

I'm 45 and have had this for almost 4 months. My mouth hurts so bad I can hardly smile. I feel like it doesn't stop hurting at all!! I wake up hurting worse everyday. My doctor is baffled. I am getting so depressed. I am newly married and can't even kiss my husband. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm a 18 plus year sufferer. I have been everywhere, all to the Boston hospitals. You.might want to go to the Internet and look at clonazepam, and cymbalta. Look into botox shots.Oral maxofacial surgeons are giving patients with burning tounge syndrome botox.It's helping .No side effects. It can last anywhere from 5 weeks to 5 months.Believe me,I know what you are going through. My life has been miserable. There is no cure for this condition. Dr's don't no for sure how we get it.
I've had accupuncture and been on so many medications.
I know clonazepam is the only one mostly prescribed to patients with b.m.s.
I'm going on the 1st of February. I'm praying for sometime without this devil in the mouth.I pray ypu get some relief. Please.go to burning tounge and botox shots.Feel free to contact me at any time.
God bless..

Can you please tell me where you got the shots???I was on the internet and found out that oral maxofacial surgeons ate giving patients with bms botox shots.
It has no side effects and can last anywhere from.5 weeks to 5 months.
Dr's did a study on 5 people with b.m.s and out of the 5,one was a man.They gave the women botox and the man a placebo. All the women got comfort,and the man did not.
Please look it up.Just go to botox shots for b.m.s and you will find all positive news on it.
I'm going February 1st and I'm staying hopeful that it works.
Please let me know what kind of shots you got.
I appreciate it.
God bless

Yes I have had nerve blocks also. Now I am just on opiates and fentanyl and klonosapam now to have any relief. I have tried almost everything in the past 10 years. The leading Dr who is doing research at Anchutz did the test saying that it came from Shingle virus. I still believe it came from dentist as my teeth also ache. Many people with this believe invisignline braces help. I did invest in invisignline mouth guard. I cry In pain most every day by myself. Trying not to feel sorry for myself. I am 66. I am In a couple help groups and try everything. Some folks I think have something else wrong as they are young and only have for a short time and goes away. I just hope mine would go away.

Just a question if you still in this forum. Why stay away from ice cream?. My wife has been suffering with the burning tongue for almost two years only relief is chewing gum (orbit - bubblemint) that is the one that she says it has help. She takes the ice cream to cool her tongue down.

I'm not sure who you mean.I have no problem with eating food ie ice cream or any kind of food.I'm so sorry for you suffering. As a woman I have been suffering for over 19yrs.
I have done just about everything, and taken just about every medication they could give me.
Please look up botox for b.m.s.
Dr's are now giving patients with this condition. There are no side effects and could last anywhere between 5weeks,to 5 months.
I'm going to see a maxofacial oral surgeon on the 1st of February.
Most insurance companies will pay.
It's great news for us.
I tried acupuncture, healing priests.
Clonazepam, cymbalta, oxycodine, and many more meds I just can't write them down.
Please tell me more about this problem.
If you need anything answered, please contact me.
I have much info.to share.
I pray you find comfort. .

When I eat anything cold like ice cream it temporarily makes the nerves on my tongue zing all over the place, yogurt does the same thing too. Please never say there are no bad side effects to Botox use. There are side effects If it migrates from any insertion spot in the human body. Botox works by paralyzing muscles and nerves. If it should migrate to any respiratory nerves or muscles then you die for inability to breathe. If anyone wants to try it then I say I hope it works, but being a medical professional and a 25 yr BMS sufferer I would never try it!
