Burning Mouth Syndrome. I have it very severe.

@meadowhouse Thank you. My question is: since BMS is known to be a "neuropathy," has anyone ever asked a neurologist for help? The Academy of Neurology posts dozens of articles about BMS, but I do not see any that offers a cure.

@jshdma Yes, I currently see a Neurologist who is also a pain management doctor. Everything he has recommended so far has not worked(amitriptyline)or
didn’t agree with me and had to stop(Tramadol and Topamax). Since I have had bms for 8 years 24/7 I have tried all the other meds everyone else has mentioned (Gabapentin, Clonazepam, etc. to no avail.
I think I’m going to ask him about B12 shots every month as someone suggested.
Here’s hoping you will find something that helps🙏🏻

I liked your post. So all respond. That is a good idea, but I've never attempted to talk to a neurologist. I've had burning mouth syndrome almost four years now. Also, another idea is to be hypnotized. Another idea is to try amitriptyline. It's an old day antidepressant drug.
The thought is the drug will shut off the neuron transmitter from the throat to the brain and stop the discomfort in the throat. It is taken in a very low dose with virtually no side effects.
