Ok.A few questions.
Who told you how much to take ? Doe it bring relief ? Reduced pain and /or inflammation ? Thanks, Stu
I went up to .75mg per day ofor clonazepam.
@ristu No one told me to take the Vit. B 12; I just discovered that it worked for me by beginning to take it for some other reason. I have Fibromyalgia and keep up with the latest information as much as I can. The Vit D 3 is because I live in rainy Seattle where we don't have a lot of sunshine in the winter/spring months.
@ristu I don't have any pain in my mouth now, unless I eat really acidic foods such as lemons, strawberries, walnuts, and raw pineapple. When I was younger none of these things bothered me and I ate a lot of them. Even when walnuts are baked or cooked, they continue to make my tongue and mouth hurt.
Okay then. So did the vitamin B12 actually get rid of most of the pain and swelling? Thanks Stu
B12 sublingual does NOT take away my burning mouth-(are you talking about B-12 injections perhaps?)
No...pills....
@ristu I had mouth sores on each side of my mouth at the back of my teeth (inner cheek sides) and yes, the Vit. B12 did take them away. When I eat something very acidic, I get a slight soreness, and it goes away soon. While I'm not allergic to Walnuts, Raw Pineapple, and Strawberries, they do affect my mouth and make my tongue sore, as well. Years ago, I developed a very sore mouth and tongue from taking Vitamin A and coincidently, or not, my mouth sores came at this time too. While taking the Vit. A, my mouth was so sore I couldn't eat very well. My sister, who also takes supplements for Fibromyalgia, said she had the same symptoms when taking Vit. A.
I urge you to check out a Naturopath whose medical practice also contains information on vitamins, foods, and body depleted hormones,, etc.
@mamajomclane Actually, no, I do mean B-12 over the counter vitamins from a reputable source. I recommend the company: To Your Health out of Arizona who've been publishing studies of Fibromyalgia and worked with doctors (who also happen to have Fibromyalgia) and now sells supplements to alleviate Chronic Pain, Arthritis, and Fibromyalgia which covers formulas for Sleep, Pain, Stress, and Energy Depletions. I've used their products for over 20 years.

1 ReactionHi Molly. Thanks for the recommendation of vitamin B. So, I purchase jarrow formulas methyl B12, which is the best for nerve issue conditions. I have 1000 micrograms ,which I believe is 1 mg. It may be too much to tolerate, so I'm going to break it up, and try a little bit at a time. What was the dose that you're taking, and how often do you take it. What is the total amount of dosage per day? With burning mouth syndrome, I have burning in the back of my throat, uvula ,and both sides of the back of my mouth. Thanks Stu.
