What type of tongue pain are you talking about? I know a lot of us suffer from dry mouth, either due to the fibro or medications we take, and that can cause tongue burning and soreness.

It's the sides of my tongue - I have tried sprays for dry mouth. It comes and goes....

Hi Tanner and welcome!

I think I can honestly say that there are very few places on my body that haven't hurt, since I got fibro. It may be partly from my separate neuro condition, though; I don't know. Fibro pain for me, at least, seems to be like the weather, and constantly changes. Maybe others here can weigh in and see if it's like that for them.

I sometimes get dry mouth, as AustenFan commented on.

If it bothers you too much, you could always have a doctor check it out. I sometimes do that for "new" issues with fibro, and it sure eases my mind. Always good to check out new symptoms, as sometimes, it can be unrelated to fibro.

Hope it's better soon!

I agree with luvsminis, that you might want to see your doctor or dentist if it's really bothering you. There are a lot of causes of burning tongue, including dry mouth, vitamin deficiencies, menopause, and oral allergy syndrome. Do you notice that it's worse after eating certain foods? You might want to keep a food diary to see if there is a connection. Also, sprays don't really help me either, but I put biotene gel in my mouth before I go to sleep. It seems to help more than anything. As does drinking lots of water and avoiding acidic foods. I also use ACT dry mouth toothpaste with Xylitol. It seemed like regular toothpaste was irritating my mouth, and that seemed to help too.

Mine hurts today. It feels like I burnt it even though I know I haven't. I have the sunburn feeling on my skin too, so I figure it goes along with that. We had a bad weather system come through so I know I am in a mild flare up.

If it lasts very long and isn't flare related, I would definitely get it checked out though.
