Anyone else have 'burning mouth/tongue symdrome"

[NJ Yogini]

This is my first post to the forum, though I've lurked since mid february, when I had a partial thyroidectomy and a diagnosis of papillary carcinoma 10 days post surgery.  I'll have the rest of the thyroid removed on May 10.
But, this burning tongue problem started the first week of last August.  It's like I burnt my tongue on hot tea, but it never goes away.  I affects mostly the tip of my tongue and my sometimes there's a horrible metallic taste to everything. This started BEFORE I knew of the thyroid 'problem' I had.  This sounds alot like what some of you have said is a side effect of RAI treatment.  But I haven't had that (yet). And I've read that it could also be caused by thyroid disease! I'm hoping after the TT and my hormone levels get straightened out this will go away.

This forum has given me a wealth of information and even though I haven't posted, I've certainly read most every thing for the last 7 weeks since my PT. I've held many of you in my heart, hoping for a smoother ride for some of you.  The power of prayer, or as I usually say, 'strong thoughts' ('cause that's what it is!)works if you believe it.  I'm a believer!!  Strong thoughts to you all!
I'll let you know how things come out.. (pun intended)

I have the same problem with the burning stinging mouth/tongue sensation.  My nose and eyes burn along with my ears constantly having pressure in them.  It was passed off as allergies/sinus problems in the GP's office several months ago.  I also had a small stroke at the beginning of November and was told I had heartburn in the ER.  Consequently, I did not have an MRI on my brain until December to verify it was a stroke.  The goiter was causing me choke and my tongue was swollen as well.  My endo says the mouth/tongue sensation isn't related to my thyroid problem, but after doing some research here I believe he's wrong.  He diagnosed me with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.  I'm seeking advice from another endo and  planning to see an ENT.  My prayers are with you too as I know how frustrating this can be.  Do you plan to see an ENT?
