Burning Mouth Syndrome. I have it very severe.

Have you researched the medication Gabapention. Works for me I've had BMS for five years
Very dibilitating Trading one lesser evil for another. I'm on very high dosages. But my mouth feels wonderful I have dentures
That's what started me down this horrible nightmare I lost over fifty pounds I was wearing a size 18 when I first got my dentures. Now I'm in a size 6. I'm 5 ft 8in weigh 140lb Again do your research on this medication it's certainly not for everyone Talk to your Doctor or dentist about it. I also use a lot of honey. You can put it in peppermint tea. Sometimes I just pour it on my tongue and lips. It nutrilizes the burning for a few minutes
Hope this helps

I had taken gabbapentine many years ago.
I've had this condition for many years.I have taken amatriptoline,currently on cymbalta,clonazapan,and a mild dose of oxycodone.
I have been receiving botox shots,which I read had been helping with this horrible condition. It really doesn't help.
My next move is to check out laser.I have been to a hospital in Boston.A oral maxofacial surgeon has been giving me the shots.He recommend laser.I'm going to find a Boston hospital who gives laser.
If you have some time,please Google ,botox for b.m.s.
Also Google, laser for same.
This is a horrible condition.
I've been to most Boston hospitals, and so many meds.it over 18yrs.
I'm mentally drained.
As a psychologist, referred to it as ,the devil in the mouth.
If you need any additional info.please feel free to ask.
I wish you luck with the gabbapentine, but sadly nothing has helped me..
God bless..

Please read my comments.I've been suffering for 18yrs plus
I'm currently receiving botox shots.Going to try laser.please Google ,botox for b.m.s.
and Google laser treatment.
Boston would be the best place to receive the treatment..
Good luck.
Dr's in Boston ,definitely know all about b.m.s.feel free to contact me anytime..

If you are having your teeth pulled because of b.m.s don't do it.
Unless your doing it for some other reason.people think that it's going to stop the burn.It has nothing to do with it.
It's a nerve that comes from the brain.
I've had 18yrs plus with this horrible condition.
Google botox for b.m.s.
Also for laser for b.ms.
Good luck.
Do not pull your teeth out for this condition.
Good luck

Oh, @oregongirl -- that is a lot of dental work. Will be thinking of you. Please do check in after you have it done and let us know how it went for you.

That is really too bad about the water in your former town.

Lisa L...I know. I wrote letter to editor regarding not allowing dogs to drink water. Buy bottled. Paper WD not print it. City peoole might have sued the water Dept. Can't have that. What I have is common. I had friends who had all their teeth pulled. For some reason I believe water cannot be filtered.

Lisa.. where did our wonderful world go?

It has been so long since I’ve posted here. I have found something that actually helps and it’s not a RX. When you apply this you have to be prepared that it will burn and will burn more than your mouth does now and use it daily and then start decreasing it until you use it once a week. I use Capsaicin. The burn goes away in about 5 to 7 minutes. It will not blister. I put it on the finger then run water over the finger to remove any of the capsaicin I can see. Then where ever your mouth or tongue is burning run your finger over it. I’m now in my eighth week of using it and it has helped my bms by 98%. Just start with a weak solution and build up. You will be amazed. Capsaicin works by disturbing the pain signals from the nerve to the brain. I wish I knew about this 25 yrs ago. It’ll cost you a few dollars and you don’t need to back it up with any other meds. I hope you get the same result I have.
