Burning mouth syndrome (BMS): Is this an autoimmune disease?

Hi,
Your mouth issue does not sound like mine. Mine is all inside and it feels like the nerves on part of my tongue and the inside of my lips are burning especially after eating or when I am worried.
I had a Zoom appt. with a dermatologist at the Mayo Clinic and his suggestions were no help and he had no idea of the cause except that it is always WOMEN. I do think that has to be a clue but no one seems to want to research the problem

Hi Brennan,
I don’t understand why the Drs don’t want to investigate this! So frustrating 😢
I don’t think I’ll ever know the issue.
Thanks for your information.

@bren45 I hate to tell you this: most autoimmune diseases affect women. There is ongoing research about the role of hormones and menopause in autoimmune disease. I can post the articles, if you are interested.
Have you seen you dentist for advice?
