Hi Diana

i too have had a burning tongue, throat and ears for the last year, I am now under a ENT, at first they thought it was reflux but none of the tablets work, at the moment they are thinking allergies, but you have my sympathy it is the worst feeling, I gave this everyday, and it does get you down, peri is the worst thing, no wonder we are all going crazy with all these symptoms they are endless xx

Hi Diana, I also have the burning mouth. Sometimes it is worse others a little better. I just had my hormones checked and the doc said that that I was close to menopause. I have had this symptom for several years now. At first it came and went but for the last year or so it has been here pretty constant. It sucks, but I have learned to live with it....

Hope you feel better soon! xx

Hi Topo,

Yes it is not pleasant- its very strange and when I tell co workers they cannot or never heard of it to comprehend - i have learned to live with it yes some days are better and now I am able to cope - for me cold water and cold yogurt ice cubes and cereal with milk help alot - apples are also helpful- i have had this for almost a year and I am in menopause - hope we get relief soon ox

Hi everyone just seen your posts I'm wondering if I have burning mouth syndrome too mine started weeks ago I thought it was off my new medication I have since had its hanged but I'm still getting the symptoms I also have a sore on the roof of my mouth dentist says nothing to worry about it seems to be worse when my mouth is very dry I feel like my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth and it feels like leather lol I also get a horrible metalic taste this is driving me mad it seems to be there from getting up and worse when I try to get to sleep.also my gums are very tender when I brush them and I'm sure they are reseeding they sometime bleed if I catch my gum   Is this another menopause symptom and how long does it last xx

Hi Glitzy,

I also have had the metallic taste in my mouth from time to time and a very dry mouth so that my tonque sticks to it. My gums are also very tender and have receeded. I have a lot of trouble with my gums lately. As far as I have read this is also part of perimenopause. It is no fun though... xx
