I take multiple meds, but nothing new and none have neuro side effects. I have sent my neurologist an email about a follow-up appt. However, I have read this is a manifestation of PN and know how difficult PN is to treat, so was wondering if others had experienced this and what they did to relieve it.

My neuropathy is ganglionitis secondary to Sjogren's, so the mouth involvement could have something to due with either condition. Sjogren's can cause dry mouth but this new problem is classic nerve type burning pain and my mouth isn't necessarily overly dry when this occurs.

I've never heard of alkaseltzer for PN, but nothing ventured, nothing gained, so I'll give it a try. I'm curious, what is the theory/action/ingredient that alkaseltzer helps PN?

Thanks
