Oh no! I think I'm getting Burning Mouth Syndrome!

[Guest guest]

For about 10 days, the tip of my tongue has been tingling. I didn't really think

anything of it; just figured it was from taking ginko herbal tincture straight

instead of diluting (like when you take kava and your tongue goes numb, that

sort of thing.)

Then last night, at dinner, I noticed my lower lip felt numb, too. And also that

my tongue felt scalded. I thought that was hot because I had just started to

eat, but it wasn't anything hot that scalded my tongue, so I thought it a bit

strange.

Now today, my right lower lip and jaw feels numb, like dead man's finger. My

tongue still feels scalded. I'm not in pain, really, but it's annoying and then

I looked it up and found these are the symptoms of Burning Mouth Syndrome!

Yikes! What next??! I am on t3 and HC and I'm starting to feel pretty good

physically, in fact, I am even able to start exercising again, but I've been

having a TON of problems with anxiety and panic attacks, so I don't know how

that might fit in. I have also been treating EBV with transfer factor, which

actually seems to be working. I also take methyl b12 shots about 3 times a week.

Not sure if any of this has anything to do with it. The only thing I changed was

about 3 days ago I started taking tyrosine and samE to help boost my

neurotransmitters for the anxiety and panic attacks.

Any thoughts? I would greatly appreciate any input.

Thanks,

Kathleen
