The tip of my tongue stings and I have a metallic taste in my mouth. I have noticed this briefly several times before usually when I was using a weed killer. I recently started using a natural progesterone cream for the past two days and I have the symptoms once again but this time it is worse. I already have neuropathy from taking a massive dose of antibiotics Cipro and have had any normal relating neuropathy disease ruled out in the past. I think for me it is a reaction of being exposed to certain chemicals. This is horrible - its like eating something peppery and disgusting and can't get the taste out of your mouth. I am not sure but maybe it is a hormonal or glandular response.
There is a specialist in BMS named Joel Epstein you can bing him. He has clinics in a couple states and has several articles he has published. I am in month 4 of this horror and keep praying it goes away soon.

Have your thyroid checked. I have Hashimotos Thyroiditis which is a form of Hypothyroidism where cells detroy the thyroid gland in your body. I can always ell when my body is off since the first symptom is as if my tongue is burned and everything acidic makes it excruciatingly painful to eat. I was on Synthroid for over 24 years and left a very good Endocrine Medicine doctor for a second opinion at Meadows Surgical in Commerce, Ga. They placed me on Armor Thyroid and I felt a world of difference in my general well being where the Specialized Medical Doctor for this condition was extremely adament about Natural Thyroid Medicine.
Not just annoying--it can disrupt work, family life, and diet. We have a support group on Facebook where we share ideas and experiences about what helps (or not).
are you still doing good on this medication

To the person that posted their PT is knowledgeable about nerve connection.....I'm convinced my neck pain is from my BMS, which resulted from a botched dental injection (lingual nerve damage). How did you find a PT that understands the connection? i would like to find one in my area. Thank you.
my name is dianne i have the same problem and it drives you mad am very bad tempered with mine my dentist says i have nothing wrong with the few teeth iv got left as i keep getting them out i went to my doctor who was great i was given Gabapentin 100 mg 1 x 3 a day and told me to increase them if i need to she also said there is other meds available for this problem i hope this might help
Your post was from over a year ago but I was wondering how you feel after all this time. Do you still go to Dr. Ormrani? I was researching the pain clinic she works at Cedars.
Can you please tell what kinda dr give those nerve blocks for burning tongue. Thanks
Can you please tell me what worked for you, I'm losing my mind.
I sympathize with you. I too have bms and have had it for 15 months now. I was tested for sjogrens too. The lip biopsy was awful. I have not found any relief. I've tried lavender oil and frankincense oil on my tongue. Both taste vile and did no good. I've tried high dose vitamin b and alpha-lipoic acid supplements, it seemed to make it worse. I now have the burning sensation all day! If anyone has found anything to help, please let us know.
How do I get to your blog? I would love to get info on what you done to improve your BMS.
