Hi, I had a flaire that produced a metal taste in my mouth 17 years ago almost now before I was diagnosed with sjorgrens...of course,the drs didn't take me seriously..however, I kept a diary of they symptoms and still have that diary.These past years I developed the burning mouth thing to extreme which, eventually, bounced me from dr to dr draining my financial resources until I ended up at Tufts University where I finally was tested properly. I take salagen twice a day and that has resolved much of the burning mouth unless I get real tired and stressed.I also had terrible fungal infections in my mouth and on my lips for months and was given a med that worked great for that. I was improved in just about two weeks from that flair. The metal taste really stood out,though.
