I suffered from the BMS non-sense for 2 months. Nothing was helping until I started on cannabis oil (CBD) a week back. Now I feel 90% better. I do get stings, sandy feeling on the tongue and light burning a few times a day but overall I am feeling much better.

Here is some sequence of events
8/Jan/19 - found thyroid t4 was high (1.8) and tsh was suppressed (0). Thyroiditis was detected. No medicine was required and thyroid was only a point higher. Doc asked to just wait it out.
Jan through Feb - Mild pain in the throat continues. Throat hurts, burns and requires constant clearing. Mild burning in the sinus area.
14/Mar/19 - Thyroiditis still not resolved. Further diagnosed with LPR (silent Gerd). Burning in the sinus, throat and lumpy feeling in the throat. Started omeprazole (Prilosec).
16/Mar/19 - Horrible burning in the tongue, mouth. Continued Prilosec for a month as BMS may come from silent GERD. DOC prescribed magic mouth wash with a formulation that contained anti-acid, anti-histamine, anesthetic, corticosteroids and anti-fungus.
Mid Mar - Early April - NO improvement for BMS. Magic mouth wash was helping for a little while.
12/APR/19 - Another ENT visit. Doc suspects jaw grinding is causing BMS. Stopped Prilosec
24/APR/19 - Tested for Hpylori, B-12, folate, Mouth dryness (Nuclear Antibody), fungus, CBC, CRP, ESR, hbg A1c, Fungus mouth culture - All normal. Doc still prescribed Diflucan (antifungal) as sometimes fungus does not culture.
25/APR/19 - Decided to try CBD OIL vs. trying Diflucan.
30/APR/19 - Measurable symptoms of relief from BMS. keeping fingers crossed. My thyroid is still a point higher.

I did not take amitryptiline yet but had the things not improved, that was next for me. I just decided to give CBD a try.

** i feel Omneprazole triggered my BMS but doc thinks that is purely coincidental.

I hope this helps others going through BMS. All the best!!

This sounds so much like myself. My throat and the back of my tongue feels like someone ripped the skin out. I too use CBD oil and it does help with my sleep at night but I’m still burning and very confused and frustrated as to what to do. Within the past year or so I’ve had candida in my mouth, throat and ears. I continue to use magic mouthwash at night to deaden things enough so I can get to sleep. I’ve tried everything suggested. I am fearful that this constant irritation could turn into cancer. It plays tricks in my mind.

Hi. Regarding the use of THC and or CBD oil. I am curious as to how the CBD oil is administered. Is it topical? Do you take a pill? How long are the results? Thanks Stu.

Hi. I'd be interested in knowing how the CBD is administered. Is it topically applied to the burning areas? Is it a pill of CBD that you take? How long are the lasting effects? Regards,Stu

I use Charlotte's web highest potency (149$ bottle). I take 2 times half of the tincher (4-5 drops). I stopped CBD for about 2 weeks in the middle. My BMS is acting up again so started taking CBD again 3 days back. I stopped because I had Afib that needed to be taken care off. I am not sure if CBD caused it though. I will post again if my BMS goes away. Please take some consultation from your doc with CBD as it is not for everyone.
