Hello. I am a 60 year old retired teacher. Following surgeries
for an ankle fusion and then both knees being replaced, I
developed a strange neuropathy and have Burning Mouth
Syndrome. I went to the Mayo Clinic and they said this
is idiopathic... which means the patient is pathetic and the
doctors are idiots. I take Lyrica (the new neurotin) and sip
ice water all day. I'm searching for others with similar
problems so we can compare notes. I have heard of trying
folic acid, but haven't tried it yet. Does anyone out there
also have a similar situation or BMS problems? Kate

I see there are icons I may add to this message, but don't
see a dragon breathing fire... which would be appropriate
for BMS!
