Burning Mouth, Tingling in Hands and Feet

[TygerBlue]

For about 7 months I have had some symptoms I would like to compare to see if anyone else has experienced this.

I am rather stress and anxiety prone, alot of the problems come from my job and too many hours worked. I ended up in the emergency room last year with very strange symptoms that really scared me. After being reassured, they subsided almost immediately.

Forward to today: Starting in Feb this year I got this odd, off and on buzzing sensation in my chest..like a phone vibrating off and on. It moved down to my thigh. Then, a strange, almost tight/numb sensation in my cheeks..off and on. Then my feet started in with a sort of mild pins and needles buzzing/vibrating..my hands also burn and tingle. They tend to "fall asleep" very easily at night when I lay on them.

Another annoying this is my tounge is burning.

I was very scared again, and went to a doctor to see if a certain muscle relaxant had done this. She didnt seem to think so, and weirdly, everything suddenly stopped..no more problems, for one month. I thought I had managed to calm it down with some medical reassurance, but then...it slowly crept back in again. I am sitting here with a burning mouth, tingling hands and feet.

I bought a blood glucose monitor and tested my blood sugar in case this was diabetic neuropathy, Levels came back normal after several tests.

I can understand a tingling or burning sensation if you are suddenly jolted into flight or fight response..but for it to linger for months and months like this?

It is miserable living like this, I dread this is the rest of my life, with feet that buzz and tingle with every step. No amount of rest, talks with my therapist, relaxation or anything has helped. I am sad that I may have to go in for more extensive lab work, or an MRI.

:(

Sometimes injuries in the back and neck trigger other conditions years later. Check with a rheumatologist and get tested for scleroderma. It's rare but hard to diagnose and tingling in your hands and feet sounds suspicious.  It might.be lupus, ms, or another autoimmune disorder.

I too have burning mouth from anixety, it comes and goes and my eyes will feel dry and gritty on really bad days.  I have been through every test possible over the past 3 months MRI, blood, heart, xrays and now going in for a colonoscopy on Wed.  I am 43, I have struggled with anxitey and depression for years.  This all started after a resistant yeast infection then my my anxiety took over.  Searching everything, trying everything I read on the internet including a book I bought for burning mouth. It suggested taking high doses of BComplex BUT he failed to mention that B6 in high doses is toxic (read posts on here B6 Toxicity) my neuro found it out fast I only took it about 10-14 days but had terrible pricking nerve crawling, I am still left with cramping still painful leg muscles.  I am not sure if that is from my fear or the B6.  My hair is thinning and I have panic attacks daily.  I am basically a mess right now.  I just take a half of a .05 klonpin to help, and I am Hello,



I was succfully treated after using boric acid for 7 days, 600 mg.  I used butconzle 2% for 2 applications and then used the boric acid. I have not had a relapse but my yeast infection has turned into other health issues. I have lost 27 pounds during this, going in for a colonoscopy next week.  Yeast is a nasty beast.  I have had this happen twice in 10 years.  I believe it is a lot about diet too.  eliminate dairy, breads, yeast and gluten for a time and see if that helps.  Take white vinegar sitz baths, just add about 2-3 cups into a bath tub and relax, it will help with the PH. please feel free to contact me anytime, I know the pain and struggle of this and support and advice is so nice. It is cureable, just need to have a Dr. willing to go outside the box.  Diflucan is useless! for a counselor ...the burning mouth is from stress, I have had massages and tried to relax my tongue to the bottom of my mouth and left with no burning....have you had leg cramps or deep aches from your anxiety?

Stress can do a lot of strange things. I'm still recommending that you have your heart checked though, just to be safe.

I had a back and neck MRI done in 2011 after it was reinjured. The report did not come up with any issues with the spine, nothing out of the ordinary. The only thing I can say for sure is that since Jan I've been under alot of stress due to work. But its hard to believe stress could make something like this go on for 7 months.

It sounds like you could have pinched nerves or bulging discs in your back and neck from the accident. This might cause the tingling feelings you're having. Maybe you should go ahead with the MRI.

I was taking the muscle relaxant (Soma) because I re injured my back and neck..I had been in an accident back in '98 which started it all, and I avoided all pain medication. It took years to settle down, but in 2011 got hurt again.
Im afraid I have now damaged my nervous system, as its been 7 months with this buzzing and tingling. Ugh.
