HI Twills!
Welcome to our forum! I am so sorry that you have a need to be here, but I"m sure glad you found us!
As Achievinggrace has suggested, please do read the "New to Lyme?...Start here!" thread, as it is packed full of relevant information, symptom lists and informative links that have been put together by our members here! Most of those who have read through it have said that it was very helpful!! We also have a pretty good search function on this forum to help you narrow down your search for information from past posts. We must be our own health advocates now and the best thing to arm yourself with is knowledge!
Wow! That burning mouth syndrome sounds difficult to live with! Boy this sounds strange to say, but hopefully it's only because of Lyme has infected your nervous system, as that would mean that it could very well go away with treatment!
Back when I was a newbie here, I remember actually questioning my diagnosis because I was having symptoms on both sides and it seemed like everyone else was having only left sided issues! So many people infected with tick-borne infections have symptoms only on one side, but that can change for each person as well! One thing that is interesting to me about
these infections is that things are always changing, sometime only very slowly, but they are changing!
As for any other questions you have, please ask away! Our members are our biggest asset and helping others makes us feel a bit better!
