I have a taste which at first was metallic it's now sometimes salty.
The roof of my mouth and tongue feels like i had scalded it like with a hot drink though I haven't.
My mouth gets dry and it's worse then.
I take venlafaxine antidepressant, and I'm thinking is it this.
Do you suffer for this? And if so what's it symptoms or have you got rid off it.
Does anyone have this should it be affecting my teeth and jaw they are agony on top of the burning.
View 2 RepliesOne day last November I awoke with a 'bitter' taste in my mouth.
Several visits to my GP later and I'm still not much further forward.
I'm a 43 year old female. In October 2013 I was diagnosed hypothyroid and began treatment of 50mg levothyroxine per day. Because the bitter taste started relatively soon after beginning the medication, I put 2 and 2 together and thought it was causing the taste. But, no, I took myself off the medication for 3/4 weeks over Christmas and still had the bitter taste.
I've drastically altered my diet as I thought certain foods made it worse but can't pinpoint one particular allergy or sensitivity.......
I've changed toothpaste, tried mouthwash, cut out tea, milk, all dairy, and mainly eat very healthily - fruit, veggies and chicken.
My GP suggested LPR (silent acid reflux) but it doesn't taste like 'acid' - it's just bitter/sour.
I've been on Gaviscon after every meal for over a month and Ranitidine for almost 2 weeks. The symptoms persist still
My mouth can get quite dry, and the bitter taste seems to be on my tongue and/or the roof of my mouth or around a wisdom tooth on one side.
I can't cope with this for much longer. It only eases up when either sleeping or eating.
So frustrated search for posts containing burning mouth click on them and it doesn't take you to them. Does anyone know of any links between BMS and venlafaxine.

View 9 RepliesI have had what feels like my mouth has been scalded, aching roots of my teeth, blisters in my mouth, swollen gums, swollen tongue, taste buds swollen. Gums split. Some days teeth shift from the swelling on my gums. Have swollen salivary glands under chin each side of throat. Talking worsens it considerably. I have had no diagnosis yet! I have had this for 9 months. It is so painful it consumes me. Sleeping causes this to go away. Upon waking I feel normal. I put off talking, eating or drinking until as late as 2:00 pm. Then the cycle begins all over again. I've tried, so many home remedies. Seen an Oral Surgeon who believes this is Systemic. Just waiting for blood results to come back on being tested for Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis as my elbow and knee joints have almost crippled me. My knees are swollen.

View 3 Replieshas anyone had or have burning mouth syndrome before having the Oral lichen planus?
i had the BMS about 6-7 years before getting OLP.
It's been about 2 weeks that my mouth, tongue and lips are burning. No fever and nor runny nose. No coughing, headaches, and any other symptoms.
Today I saw my pharynx and found some red small scratches. I also feel some phlegm coming down from the nose to the throat.
I took a tablespoon of honey and I felt relief.
I'm experiencing a anxiety crisis and I'm wondering whether it could be due to that.
Can you guys give me some orientation?
Does anyone else suffer from constant tooth ache and burning mouth with anxiety?

View 1 RepliesUntil a few weeks ago I thought I was a success story here but I fear I'm a complete failure and I don't understand why or what is best to do.
A few weeks ago my lpr symptoms started sneaking back despite my taking 40mg nexium and 40mg domperidone per day and also Gaviscon Advance.
My symptoms are lump in throat, horrendous burning mouth and horrendous chest pain.
I'm waiting on a ph test but that's in 6 weeks and I won't see the GI consultant for another couple of weeks after that. Each day seems to be a bit worse and now it's hurting to swallow,and food is getting stuck. I'll be honest, I'm terrified I've got something awful. The pain is constant, both in my mouth and throat and in my chest. I've been in floods of tears.
My gastroscopy at the end of April was clear apart from Barrett's, the one I had before that when I had these symptoms ( before ppis) showed grade 2 oesophagitis and Barrett's.
I have a gp appointment tomorrow and don't know what to do? Do I insist she sends me back to the GI as my symptoms have radically worsened? Is there any way of lessening the symptoms ( I have already made all the lifestyle mods and drink alkaline water)
I'm at a loss, just don't understand why this is happening to me. So scared my oesophagus is getting damaged again. I just don't know what to do. This condition is ruining my life.
I start from the beginning of my back pain history,In 2009 after a training in a gym i started to feel a sharp pain in my back, following months they pain was growing that much that I could not work out anymore. After several months I had the pain in back but also numbness in my mine buttocks after some checks that the doctors made and pain killers which didn't help,finally they have sent me to CT, which showed that I had a slightly bulged disc l1-s5,the doctors though didn't pay much attention to that result,saying that almost 60 % percent of population would have the same result if they would have checked,after months of Physical Therapy my pain was relieved ,though I didn't go back to Gym.
A year and the half after that I was in pain again and then Sciatica sensation pain started to appear like the needles and pins in my buttock,I was feeling that my legs are weak, slightly tingling on my testicles. I've panicked and went immediately to at least 3 different orthopedics who didn't help much,and neurologist who sent me to MRI and EMG both of them showed that my spine contrary to CT is fine. So he prescribed me Pregabalin which is helped and reduced my pain I aslo started visiting Yoga instructor and half a year later a gym. A year later I've started to go to gym again trying to make mine core stronger which always been very very weak it helped I guess because they were no signs of which doctors call Sciatica. In 2013 I've got into squats and deadlifts and though the pain in back and very rarely sciatica sensations above were appearing i've continued to train, the problem was also what sometimes I was blaming my self for the pain. I had and still have since 2013 a very tight schedule (studying and working) so in average i have 4 hours to sleep. in 2014 there were some increasing in my pain again, I visited some other orthopedist who told me that I'm fine and I visited Neurologist again which has sent me to MRI and EMG again,and AGAIN they both were perfectly fine! So i've continued to train.
My last half a year was very stressful so I didn't work out in gym as much as in the past two years, but when I got back my back started to hurt again also I was feeling numbness in my toes sometimes and tingling in my groin and testicles.
Last month, there were 3 days with pain which started from my back and went through my legs which I have never felt before, It was very strong pain in hips and back. A week after that pain I've started to feel needles and pins sensation in my legs, tingling when I walk on the street with jeans in my right leg (only when I walk outside), some days after that i've started feeling tingling in the area of my testicles and groin which get worse when I sit and stand,never I have before such a strange and annoying feeling in that region.
Though the pain in my back almost disappeared the strange sensation in my testicles is only getting worse. For last three weeks Im feeling strange tingling in the right side of my stomach (or the feeling like something moving there inside). Also when i'm with woman I feel like I've start to ejaculate early . It's not a complete ejaculation though , only when I get arose a little bit sexually I feel like something coming out of my penis and when i was checking it,that It were a drops of sperm (although I don't have yet any other sexual problems or loss of feelings). Also they were couple of times when during the end of urinating, suddenly i was ejaculating (the sperm was coming out right after i've finished urinating), in addition I feel a weird "penis movements" sensations (sorry but that is the only way I can explain what I feel), In addition to all of that I feel sometimes weakness in my left leg or kind numbness for a couple of seconds (though i don't have any pain running or lifting my leg up or whatever).
In addition,to all of this i'm feeling like my right leg is getting heavy (or numb) and there is even one time when muscle twitches appeared in the left leg.
I really wanted to go to the Doctor, but the problem that until january im studying abroad and any visiting the doctor with that kind of problems would cost me a lot of many because my insurance doesn't cover pre condition situations and it seems like one.(though I didn't have any of these feelings before and MRI have NEVER DIAGNOSED ANYTHING) .
So I really puzzled and I don't know what to do,I have no idea why I have all these strange sensations (though almost not having any pain in a back, why MRI never showed anything and I didn't find anywhere on the web if there is any connection between strange partly ejucaltion and bulged or herinated disc).
I have just got worse throughout the day I had a seizure early this afternoon and the pain has just got worse. I have to stay strong for my husband and kids but inside I am crying right now . I am completely fecked off with it. I confess I am due on and the pain all over seems to be stronger. I am 42 and I am sitting in a chair propped up by cushions a blanket and a hot water bottle for my arms watching emmerdale , tried knitting a bloody scarf but my hands/ arms hurt.

View 17 RepliesI have sjogrens ad have for many years now. The other night I was eating and I alway drink before I take a bite of food. I started to eat and began choking on my food which got into my esophagus. It was stuck.i tried to get it to go down and tried to get it out. No luck. I was scared to death and in a panic. I called 911. Heard the sirens and said tis that for me? Yes the paramedics were there they took me to the ER at the hospital. They tried o give me two shots and a nito under my tongue. This was to relax the esophagus. That didn't work so ER doc called in an anesthesiologist to put me out and a gastrointestinal doctor to do an endoscopy. It was now 5 1/2 hours I was sure I was going to die. I was so so scared. It was sourdough bread. It was so good. But I will never eat it again . I have tried vovox and salavert but had side effects so had to stop taking. I don't know what to do unless I eat only soft foods. Does anyone have this problem or suggestion for what I can do. I don't want to become paranoid of food because it was so bad.
