What town and city do you live in or near? This is a very complicated problem and I do not know of any one in New Jersey that is an Expert in this. NYC is the closest. Tell me where you are and I will check to see if I see someone listed that is working with this. I can not promise, but I need to know you exact location to help you. Judging from whjat you have tried, that is what we prescribe in our office, however, I may know of one more thing. Get back to me when you can.

I live in Wichita, KS. I am willing to travel if it is necessary. I have consulted my dentist, my family practice, dermatolagist, acupuncturist, neurologist, a naturopathologist.

Hi! I read an article by Dr. Peterson in Gering, Nebraska about BMS. His email is drdpeterson@scottsbluff.net. His phone number is 308-436-3491. He discusses a double blind study using Alpha-lysoric acid (Thioctic acid) ,this is an antioxidant, where 70 percent of his patients got different levels of relief and maintained this at a 1 year follow up. Within 2 months many patients had some form of relief. Email him and see if you can speak to him. The other thought is to mention to him about a very new drug vitamin called Cerefolin. Many neurologists are not even aware of this because it is so new. I take this and it has stop the burning and tingling and pains in my feet and hands. My thought is that this would work for burning mouth as well. We have started 2 patients on it in my office and are watching for the results. If I can find anything else I will contact you. If you have any other questions, please ask.

Please remember to click the ACCEPT so I get credit for helping you. Thanks.
