Default Burning Mouth Syndrome

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and would love some feedback on my problem.

I have burning mouth syndrome. I had to get a full upper denture in feb. of 09.
For those of you that don't know one usually get a immediate denture the day of the extractions.Which was the case with me. 4 months later I got my permanent. I had no burning problems with the 1st denture however 12 days after getting the permanent denture I started having BMS symptoms. It has now been 18 months and I have tried everything. At first I didn't know it only happened when I was wearing my denture because I was trying to adjust to them and left them in except to sleep.

The mystery is that I do not have the symptoms unless I have the denture in. I had the denture re cured in the event it was not cured properly. That did not work. I take alpha lopioc acid 400mg 2x a day and a herbal remedy "Bomarax" compounded to help BMS.
My last hope was that I had developed a allergy to acrylic so I had a test denture plate made out of vinyl ( sometimes used for acrylic sensitive patients)
Sadly, the vinyl didn't work, I still have the BMS but only when I have the denture in. The good new is I can find relief without my denture... bad news, I work and can't go without teeth.

I want so badly to find some help. I supplement with B12 and zinc. I have eliminated all my meds except for cymbalta, neurontin and klonopin. The latter two I take for restless legs. I am at my wits end. I spend every free moment online trying to figure it out to no avail.
My next move is to try Elavil.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Hope
