Thanks to David, I was just going to mention that. It's also been
suggested that there
may be a link between BMS and diabetes, so that may be something to pursue with your (Paul's) doctor.
In lieu of
Alpha Lipoic Acid, you might try 'stabilized'
R-Lipoic Acid, which is well known on this forum. 100 mg. of R-Lipoic Acid is considered equivalent to 600 mg. of Alpha Lipoic -- less (and smaller) pills to take, and the stabilized form is reputed to be better absorbed (more of it getting to where it needs to be).
Lipoic Acid Helps Quench the Fire of Burning Mouth Syndrome
Chronic use of 'chronic' can deplete some essential vitamins, which could have an exacerbating effect on BMS. Something else to look into.
