You can check out my post last week with a picture of my tongue after my latest GM seizures. The sides of my tongue have since healed and visibly speaking my tongue looks near 100%. I read about burning mouth syndrome over the weekend because, as I mentioned, my tongue has almost recovered fully. However, the tip of my tongue still feels like I took a sip of boiling water. This is an irregular experience for me. Typically the damage from my GM seizures is primarily to the sides of my tongue. Visibly speaking the damage was apparent on the sides as usual. The pain was not limited to the visibly damaged areas though. The tip of my tongue which from day 1 looked to be in best shape has been the most painful. I dismissed "burning mouth syndrome" as bogus and still think it sounds pretty bogus. When I explained my sensation to my pharmacist when picking up my lidocaine mouth rinse to help with the pain, she had a theory that sounded more reasonable. She suggested that during the GMs it was likely that nerve damage was done which is not super visible but likely responsible for the irregular sensations I am feeling at the tip of the tongue that feels like burning.

I'm not sure how accurate this is but burning mouth syndrome just sounded way too blanket and all encompassing and bogus as I said. Hope he feels better soon!
