Confused New To Forum- Looking for Information

I have just been diagnosed as having BMS (Burning Mouth Syndrome). But it does not involve just my mouth, so I think that diagnosis may not be accurate.
It also involves my nose, eyes and ears and sometimes the soles of my feet, tips of my fingers and random places on back or hips. I have had blood tests, urine analysis, brain MRI, EMG and cultures. I am currently on 800 mg of Gabapentin a day ( 400 am , 400 pm) It keeps it under control for about 6 of my waking hours. By about 1 pm each day it really kicks in. I am a teacher and it is hard to concentrate and keep talking. It is also necessary for me to correct papers, work on my webpage, and email parents at night but I can not work at my normal pace so I am falling behind. The only reason I have time to correspond now is that I have the flu and am home!
I am looking for anyone who has had a similar condition.
