Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Hi, Has anyone ever experienced mouth burning? My tongue, the roof of my mouth burn off and on. I could go for weeks without an incident and then suddenly go for a couple of weeks with it burning. I've been checked for infections - none found. I take PTU but the burning initially started when I was becoming hyper and before PTU. I'm stable now and no longer hyper or hypo. My doctor believes that it is a hormonal thing. I also went to my psychiatrist thinking it could be emotional and he said it wasn't. He also concurred that he believes it to be hormonal. Ann Marie Re: Normal or return to hyper? Hi , If it were ME, I would request blood work for the TSI and TPO antibody tests, but would cancel the appointment with this doctor (if I could swing getting the labs without seeing the doc), and find a new doctor who is good with ATDs. If antibodies are negative, I would take a wait and see approach, get labs in 2-3 months (unless I felt symptoms sooner). However, if my antibodies were present, I would then want to be on a block and replace regimen (ATD with addition of synthroid) as soon as I located a new doctor who would work with me in a collaborative way. It is not good to be subclinical hyperT, so you may want to watch out for that -- it can increase your risk of cardiac problems. You can read Elaine's article on Suite 101 about Subclinical HyperT (low TSH with normal FT4 and FT3, I believe). Take care, and try to relax -- you have time to work this out.
