A family member (who does not have PD) had burning mouth several years ago. The first doctor wanted to put him on meds, but the second doctor said it was a vitamin B deficiency...he took the B vitamins, and it disappeared. You might want to look into that, as well. I think one of the B vitamins competes with sinemet, though, so you'll want to research this...also I have read that sinemet can actually deplete B6, so it can be tricky trying to balance things out.
