I have been researching symptoms of thyroid / hormones & stuff and ran across something that has nothing to do with thyroid (was checking on a burning symptom on my tongue before the thyroid symptoms came up) and found that post or peri menopausal women can suffer from burning mouth syndrome. Since I am neither, being 30 yrs old - it did not fit my problem and I found mine was from rubbing my tongue against my tooth. My thyroid symptoms are very new so I have no idea if yours could be thyroid related, just thought I would give you a heads up on what I had found.
Hope you're feeling better soon! Have a great day!
Thanks for your swift reply. I'll look it up, I knew it couldn't be the HRT, just thought of thyroid and forgot about actual menopause symptoms. And I, like you, am new to thyroid only just diagnosed so I get confused with what's what. But thanks again.
You're so welcome. I am a dummy when it comes to most medical stuff, I just happened to find that! Glad I could help. :)
A burning tongue can be a symptom of b12 deficiency. B12 def. sometimes comes along with thyroid disease.
Well I have no thyroid and I've had the burning tongue, dry mouth and teeth pain since I had RAI. I thought it was related to that but my endo says no. It comes for weeks and then goes. Some days aren't a bad as others. My doc thinks it's a result of being hypo. Which makes sense to me as learn more and more about this stuff. I don't know if I'm def. in B12 because I take B vitamins everyday for my hair. I wish someone had an answer to this question and a remedy because I"m quite sick of it!
Thanks for your reply. That also makes sense to me, as mine comes and goes ever since I started swinging between hyper and hypo. But I'm mostly hypo and I always think it comes up when my thyroid goes back hypo, it's like a sign. But the other points about menopause symptoms and B12 are useful too. Don't know about you, but I get the most awful taste and smell on my breath and it's like my teeth are paining and gums stinging.
From what I had found and it has definately helped me. It is a PH imbalance and a depletionf zinc in the body.
The hypothyroidism will upset the balance of PH and zinc in the body which will result also in a b12 imbalance.
I take 30-60mg a day now. When I am very acidic I will take ACV 2x's daily and my B's
I have not touch an antacid since February and my tongue for the first time in years looks almost normal. No burning or dental pain anymore either.
