Thanks for the link Alffe...The thought has occurred to me many times. I found the link helpful. I have PTSD and have been living with it for many years and doing great. When I had to get dentures I thought it was the worse thing in the world! I was so embarrassed.Wearing dentures has such a stigma to me. Little did I know that in less than 6 months from then I would have this incapacitating Burning Mouth Syndrome. I am lucky in some ways I guess...I can find relief by taking my denture out. Now going around toothless is just more than I cope with. I do not wear them at home and now I don't go out much at all. I know I sound pitiful..I feel pitiful. I know I am in the middle of a full blown depressive episode. I just don't care. I need to have lower dentures made soon and I can't imagine my whole mouth burning. Now it's just my tongue and roof of my mouth and the gums that set in the denture.
Anyway, Thanks for listening

Fondly, Hope
