| I''m Judy. I''ve had BMS for about 5 years now. My tongue and palate burn constantly, except when I am really focused on doing something. Like when I''m in the pool, I don''t notice it al all. Or when I''m playing cards or any activity that takes my mind off my mouth. I go to bed every nite with a sugar free cough drop tucked in my jaw. I don''t think I could sleep without that, because when I''m in bed, I''m not focusing on anything but the burning. As for toothpaste, my dentist put me on a perscription toothpaste. It''s called PreviDent 5000 by Colgate. It has flouride in it. I don''t have cavities anymore. I get my teeth cleaned twice a year. Also, he said not to drink lemonade, because the acid in lemons would eat the enamel off my teeth. I have a diseace called Sjogrens Syndrome and BMS is just secondary to my disease. I''m on an anti depressant and Klonopin and Evoxac. Klonopin is for anxiety and is the only anti-anxiety drug that actually has the side effect of producing more saliva in my mouth. All the rest cause dry mouth which makes my mouth burn worse. Evoxac is great. It''s a salivary stimulant, much better than Salagen for me. Hope some of this helps you. I know your pain. | ||

| I have BMS and so far have not found any help. I do not want to chase doctor after doctor for no answers, so I am researching on the internet as best I can. I am trying the ceyenne pepper. I also am a Texan. | ||
