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
