The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Burning mouth syndrome
Hello!I'm a man 54 years old and I've been suffering from burning mouth syndrome for seven years.Tongue, lips, oral cavity,throat are on a fire!
Worsens during the day, during stress or fatigue, after speaking or through eating spicy foods.
I took antidepressants for three years with no results.
Last two years I have tried a lot of homeopathic remedies(cantharis, capsicum, sulphur,phosphorus) under the instructions of a specialist.It didn't help.
Any other suggestions, please?

I am a 67 year old female, 5'1 1/2, 145# and in good health. I suffer from Burning Mouth Syndrome for 4 years. I have spoken to or have been to see 8 doctors. Neurologist, ENT, dentist, oral surgeon and 24 physicians. Noone has any answers for me. I just had Bvitamins, folic acid & thyroid checked for deficiencies, but, all are normal. My pain begins in the morning and lasts until I am asleep. I was on Klonipin/alpha lipoic combination for 2 months and it didn't help either. Since weaning off the Klonipin I have much trouble sleeping.
I exercise 4 days a week at Curves and keep active. I will not allow this burning to keep me from living. I just need some help.There is no other synptoms onther than a burning mouth, tongue, and lips. Usually not always together. Nothing I keep from eating or drinking helps the burning. NO matter what I eat or drink, it is there. I'm hoping for some positive feedback, but, was told by the doctors 'good luck finding anything to help your BMS'. Not very encouraging.

36, 5'6', 180 lb, attractive, overweight
Emotions: Irritable, frustrated. Repressed Anger. At times depressing thoughts.
Great relationships, challenging with my 5 year old at times.
Triggers: Lack of sleep, allergies, breastfeeding. Gets much worse when I sleep on my right side and get bad sleep (with a 1 & 5 year old that's almost every night). Cooked food, citrus, spring or filtered water (on distilled doesn't burn).
Symptoms: all body aches, tired, metallic taste, unquenchable thirst, sometime overly hungry, easily cry
prefer warm surroundings.
All day I feel it, wake up at night thirsty. Didnt have it during either pregnancy but had it after my first, can't remember if I had it before.
Most nights I get 3-4 hours, nurse my 1 year old, then another 2-3 hours
sweat-less than normal, mostly underarm, which for me is normal
drink mostly room temp water, sometimes cold when the burning
rest seems to help when I'm very tired, then movement after I catch up on sleep.
normal bowel, hemmoroid . 1-2 bowel movements a day, large, formed, often slight pain in stomach and gas prior to bm. Eating seeds causes blood after wiping.
Do you think that you are able to satisfy your sexual desires? No, usually low interest and when I am interested I am overly so.
Started NAET, to pinpoint/eliminate my allergies but only have temporary relief.

Age:40 - female
Height:157cm
Weight:70 kilos
Mental state:anxious, lost my fother month ago and few hours later almost last my mum to an aneurysma, she is recovering
Good relation but also shortly confused by 'declaration' of a good friend towards me and not insensible for him neither...
Good relations with relatives but costantly problems with members of a club we are leading where also recently is a lot of stress and obstruction towards us.
No Problems at the work
Other physical symptoms:allergy, this caused also in past irritation in my mouth but never my tongue. now it is more tongue but also tooth flesh and complete mouth as a matter of fact
Warm at night, before always needed something to take with me in bed to warm my feet, now needing to put off all my clothes...
Feel better in the morning, awfull late night.
Problem getting worse during the day,drinking water cools it down a bit.
Bad sleep in last month due to stress about losing father and mother on intensive care. now it is better. never been a great sleeper, visit to toilet about 3 times at night is no exception
Sweating under arms, moving to quick tired I believe because of wrong breathing or astma but my normal astma in summer (hay fever) was different than how it feels now to be honest
Drinking water but not cold and not enough I suppose.
Bad smell, sometimes too hard, constipations, sometimes too soft but not often how it is supposed to be.
In the past rarely envy , recently abnormal more envy in sexual activity, probably the 'compliment' of the declaration of love of a good friend is also a cause of this.
Problem very recent, started together with all the stress in my life. Not yet diagnoses of burning mouth but reading all the symptoms make me think in that direction.
Medication 5x a day 5 granules borax 30K help for a while but than it starts all over again.
Cleaning teeth seems to help to for a while
looking forward for your help, lots of thank you's in advance!!!

This could be a case that I could handle for you, but you will need to make your own post. Could you do that and I will then post a more in-depth questionnaire for you to answer.

Evocationer, do you mean that I have to create a new item?
Or do I have to create something private, in case of that, please tips how to?

A homeo remedy is always selected on the basis of totality of symptoms. Please answer the following questions to help us know totality of your symptoms.
*Your age, height, weight and appearance please.
29, 5'6, 225 lbs

*Please describe your other physical symptoms like headache, backache etc.
I have Burning Mouth. My entire mouth feels like it's on fire - lips, tongue, roof of mouth, hard and soft palette. It is murder to eat/drink anything. I also have headaches and nausea with tendencies to want to vomit
*You prefer cold environment and open air or do you prefer warm surroundings.
I'm fine with both. However, cold liquids feel better with my mouth in the current state it's in.
*At what time of day you as an individual feel better and worse like better in the morning and worse at night.
It's bad pretty much throughout the day except, maybe, when I'm sleeping. I don't notice it when I'm asleep.

It's not the best. I have disturbing dreams.
*How is your sweat? It is less, more or normal? Where do you sweat more like in armpits, head etc.
Normal.

Water and cold drinks I crave as it helps cool the burning in my mouth. The hot makes it feel worse.

They feel fine when I sleep but feel terrible upon being awake.
*How is your bowel movement? Constipated, loose or normal. How is the digestion?
Fine.
*Do you think that you are able to satisfy your sexual desires?
Don't have any.

Dear Faolan, I do not know anything about homeopathy but I was the one who opened this item and while classic doctors said it was for life, I do not have it anymore. In my case it certainly was related to stress, depressive emotions, burn out and no sleep so I was exhausted. To be honest I also had to change my eating pattern. I was not allowed to eat milk, sugar, "gluten" (do not know what it is in english but it is in bread and meal, and in my case tomatoes and apples... I found out that after eating it it always got worse... Hope you are better soon, I know what it is and it certainly is hell, but as you see, there is hope!
