I have had burning tongue syndrome for two years
now, every doctor seems to give their opinion in whatever they
specialize in, I went as far as having my tonsils out.....I
am 35 years old and angry and frustrated that no one can figure
out what is causing this or give me some relief!! It does help
to know that other people have this......at first my family
said I needed to be committed.. until recently when my mother
came down with the same thing!
Can you believe that, wanting to
have her committed?
And just wanting some relief?
How about this one...
It's sad to say but I used to be scared to
kiss my children and my husband because I was afraid it might
be contagious, and because there was not much information about
tongue problems available...
Or this one...
Dear Tim: I have always had a geographic tongue
that sometimes flares up when I eat something spicy
or acidic.
I recently went to the dentist for
a routine filling when the Dentist hit a nerve which
caused my tongue and gums to remain numb for over a
week (8 days and counting). He prescribed steroids which
have done nothing to alleviate the numbness, but now
I have many, many crevices that are quite deep and my
tongue is on fire! I called my dentist who says that
this is caused by the steroids!
I am quite annoyed
both with my dentist and my doctor. Please tell me there
is something I can do to soothe my burning tongue!
Thank you! Pam

it!
