So here's a weird one.

The past few days I've noticed my mouth has felt weird at night. I'll be in the middle of something completely routine, not feel particularly anxious (more than normal anyway) and either be drinking a Dr. Pepper Zero or having an ice cream sandwich. I've had these things before with no problem. Now, every time I have them, my mouth has the feeling of having eaten something spicy. Not the actual flavor (which tastes normal) but my tongue feels like I ate something very spicy. It kind of rough and bumpy feeling, and is just generally unpleasant. It's hard to describe.

I can't seem to remember it happening with a meal, or with water or other stuff. I'm going to pay more attention tomorrow. It almost feels like my throat does when I feel like a dust allergy coming on? Coarse and rough and unpleasant? Again, real hard to explain the feeling. Closest thing I could find googling is this (https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/burning-mouth-syndrome/symptoms-causes/syc-20350911) but I'm not sure why it would be that (though like everything else in my life, anxiety is listed as a cause). Now I'm concerned it's some modified taste/smell COVID symptom. 🙄

Has anyone ever dealt with anything like this? It's so bizarre and I'm not quite sure how to address it. I'm out of state and can't see any doctors here.

Last night I very suddenly stared having the weirdest sensation in my mouth that feels like I've been eating peppers. It's been a whole day and it hasn't gone away. I checked with my PCP and he said physically there isn't anything wrong with my mouth. And my taste is a bit off. Has anyone ever heard of this or experienced it.. I'm kinda losing my mind about it..

So, I've been dealing with BMS for several years (30-ish M). Like many, I've tried various medications, remedies and specialists, with no consistent improvement. I'm personally leaning towards it being a primarily neurological issue, though I don't rule out other factors (saliva production, acid reflux, psychology, etc.). But I personally feel that the root cause is increased sensitivity, so a multitude of otherwise-normal variations in mouth conditions (like a drier mouth after talking, aciding food in the diet, drier mouth due to typical stress, etc.) trigger exaggerated sensations. That is, the reason why a lot of ENT and dental exams come up as normal is because our mouth conditions are normal (or, at least, within normal ranges), but the oral nerves are registering things as pain that an average person wouldn't feel as pain.

Meanwhile, one thing that has been consistent with my symptoms, and seemingly the majority of BMS sufferers, is the tendency for symptoms to worse over the course of the day. That got me thinking: What is it that sleeping does that "works" so consistently to alleviate symptoms? Is it relaxation of the muscles/nerves in the area? No food/swallowing to activate the nerves (unlikely, since eating usually alleviates the pain, not worsens it)? The mental refresh of a night's sleep (not sure, but at least for me, the pain doesn't directly correlate to the quality or quantity of sleep)?

Then lately I started feeling my neck and lower back pain more severely than normal, and I started to think about how our spines typically compress during the day (as gravity pulls it down as we're sitting/standing while awake), then stretches back out as we lie down to sleep. It's why people are measured taller in the morning than the evening. My neck pain is also usually worse in the evening, because I'm sitting down for much of the day for work/leisure, though even then, it's not that much better if I spend more of the day on my feet. So I thought: Maybe as the day goes on, the gravity-induced compression on the spine increases the stress on the neck ligaments and nerves.

Back to BMS, one of the potential causes investigated for the condition has been damage to the oral nerves, in particular the vagus nerve. I just came across this article, that looks at spinal issues relating to BMS (ignore the suggestion of prolotherapy, which is still an experimental procedure of uncert

So I have heard a lot about anxiety affecting different areas of your physical health,, Does anyone here have Burning Mouth Syndrome ? I've had it since October, it's absolutely miserable, I've heard it can be caused by anxiety, I've done all the tests, taken several oral rinse medications, and so far nothing is working, feels like I burned my mouth on scalding cheese but for 10 months, I have lost sense of taste at the tip and side's of my tongue, and my taste buds disappeared leaving my tongue smooth,, hoping anxiety meds will help

Longtime chronic migraine survivor (F age 23, migraines for 12 years). Over the years they've developed from mild and less frequent to more intense and frequent, with vestibular, hemiplegic, and extreme vertigo. Almost a month ago my left foot randomly was numb and asleep in the middle of night, and was on and off like that for several weeks. It is worst when I walk a long time or at night. It has now turned into both my feet having these on and off burning sensations that can be ignorable or very intense and painful, also worse at night and when walking. I am also having a vibration sensation shoot up my feet and legs to my stomach like a "boing" feeling. I've seen 3 different doctors in the last 2 weeks, can't get in with neuro until early Feb. There are dozens of causes of burning feet syndrome: https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/burning-feet-causes-treatments and many of these I can rule out, but I am not sure what caused it and my migraines have been improving for awhile due to my Cephaly treatments. Has anyone else ever experienced this before? Any ideas for causes -- I currently take Vitamin B12 and other vitamins daily, I am not diabetic, my past bloodwork hasn't indicated any of the other causes. thanks!

Anyone experience burning mouth syndrome and ever get relief? It's been a week and my whole tongue constantly feels like it is burning as well as the roof of my mouth and gums. Brushing my teeth hurts and feels like the bristles are too harsh on my gums and roof of mouth. This happened after I had 1 taco from taco bell.... Ive literally never had it before and wanted to try and as soon as I finished eating it I started to feel the burning sensation and now it won't go away. Nothing in my mouth looks abnormal and when I eat and drink it goes away only as long as I have food or drink in my mouth but then hurts as soon as I'm done. I do have GERD and have taken many antiacid meds to try to relieve the burning sensation in my mouth but nothing works... Not even prescription acid reflux meds. Any help would be appreciated!

I never thought I would feel this way. I've been at the same local govt job for nearly 20 years. The last few years the boss had me start creating classes to train and educate new and experienced staff on all the different areas we deal with. I'm talking real estate records law, surveying, history, all with videos I have created and recorded. I had to teach myself how to do all of this. They knew that.

I have zero academic qualification for any of this besides decades of experience, an attention to detail, I enjoy history and maps and such, I have taught myself what I needed to know and double-checked everything I could with professional and academic sources; intangible skills like that are impossible to quantify.

I feel like a fraud the more I do and the better I get. My boss barely cares about the office anymore. It's about the title. Their communication with staff is non-existent. I know they are superficially aware of what I am doing but I'm up to over five hours of video and 12 plus classes, you'd think they would say something!

I know my coworkers deeply appreciate my work. I see them get the concepts, I see their work improve and get promoted and that does me good. I genuinely enjoy the work and learning things.

But I'm just the training assistant. The employment situation is weird. It's split between elected and appointed (hired) and I can't really go to HR.

I hate feeling like this.

Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask, it'd be appreciated if someone can direct me to a better sub to ask.

I work in a refrigerated environment that sits at 2°C throughout the day. When I finish my shift and go outside, my face goes bright red and feels as though I've been scalded for an hour or two. My head feels heavy and warm, my body aches and at points I feel like I'm about to throw up.

I think it's worsened when I take ADHD medications (methylphenidate/dexamphetamine), despite drinking copious amounts of water throughout the day (2-3L) and moisturising every 3-4 hours.

They also make my chest excruciatingly tight and uncomfortable, but only on days that I work.

What is the biological basis for this response, and what avenues of pharmacological treatments could help?

It's a tremendous burden on my daily life and getting another job is off the table unfortunately

I’m curious if anyone else who has been diagnosed with fibromyalgia also suffers from burning mouth syndrome?

12+ months here, several other posts. Just looking for any other advice, specialists, treatments, or whatever that can provide some relief, while doctors and specialists figure things out.

Luckily, I've been able to get over things like my cough, and lung issues. I only have shortness of breath during activity, and that's at least something I feel like I can live with. The other stuff, not so much. I have serious cognitive, memory, and fog issues, but those might even be second to the neuropathy.

While I've reacted well to Gabapentin for pain, I've quickly realized that the actual neuropathy or whatever "feeling" is what's running and ruining my life:

Symptoms:

• pain is center-body stiffness, movement is restricted - these are mostly countered by 3x300mg Gabapentin daily
• my body always has a "high" or "pegged" feeling, like it's running at full steam. This could be nerves or adrenaline. It's just always there.
• this seems to flare between 80-200%, and never goes away.
• tinnitus (ringing in ears) flaring away seems to be just another part of the same thing
• I had restless leg syndrome (RLS) at night in the fall of 2020, and now that same kind of feeling is what my entire body feels like 24x7
• my brain/head and sometimes swelling or shrinking feelings seem to be a part of this
• while the pain part is handled by the Gabapentin, any part of my body that touches anything is flaring more at some level. This includes laying down, pillows, etc.
• my cold/heat sensitivity seems messed up. I'm frequently fine when everyone else is freezing
• I feel like I have a fever all the time and check my temp because of it
• my body temp is 95-97.5, and never higher
• I get the chills where my body feels cold inside, even though I'm not cold
• body feels "poisoned"
• While I used to be gaslit into thinking this is "just anxiety", I frequently don't take my anxiety meds for weeks at a time. If any of my anxiety triggers were actually going off, I'd be taking the max daily dosage, and asking for more meds. I'm positive this is not the case.

Effects:

• I can't sleep at night because my body is screaming (Gabapentin made this worse, and Prednisone for allergies somehow canceled it out)
• no matter how tired or sleep-deprived I am, it doesn't help me fall asleep
• while my other brain fog and other issues are bad, this also definitely destroys any chance of focus
• this is just exhausting to deal with. I'm not sure if it has anythin

Hello,

I have BFS for know 2 years, at the begining it was reaoy strong due tonmy anxiety and little sleep but know i have very few fasciculations, i have a few sometimes but it is okay for me. I still have anxiety, hypocondriac problemes but im trying to work on it.

Whatever i have for a few weeks now Strong heating sensation on my left feet and sometimes my left hear. It is very strong for me feet but it is not very long, i have sometimes this sensation on some parts of my body but not the same that my feet.

Some of you have or haved that symptôms, do thit pass, can i do something ? Thanks and im 23 by the way and french so sorry for my english :)

So this is new, but I've been feeling very tingly and now my hands and feet feel like they are on fire. It's a very strange and uncomfortable sensation. Has anyone experienced this before?

Has anyone ever experienced burning pain in their calves and feet for extended periods of time? I’ve had this happen before, but usually only when I’ve been on my feet too long. Occasionally, it has happened for no reason, but usually is gone in a day.

This time it’s been several days of all day pain in my feet and calves and I’m not standing hardly at all, so it’s not that. It kinda feels like growing pains I used to get when I was a kid. I’ve tried heat, ice, stretching, exercise, Tylenol, midol, ibuprofen, meloxicam, and gabapentin. Nothing helps in the slightest.
