Q: burning sensation on tongue, toes, mouth, eyelids

I am a 54 year old menopausal woman, with an underactive thyroid (which has been tested and found to be satisfactory with the medication prescribed for this).

I started with a tingling burning sensation in my tongue and toes then burning became more intense inside my mouth, it then went into the bottom of my nostrils and the inside corner of my eyelids. Now its burning where my nails meet the fingers and toes and now sharp stabbing pains.

I,ve seen the doctor several times and after being tested for pernicious anaemia, diabetes, vitamin deficiency and liver and kidney functions with negative results, and I am now waiting for my doctor to contact a specialist (neuroligist I think she said) to check to see if she has tested me for everything before referring me on. Other than this my doctor is at a loss to the cause of this.

Please help

Burning toe and mouth.

Have you gotten any answers to this? I have been suffering with the same conditions except for the eyes. It started in Sept. of 2007. All test run come back fine except for low B6. Do you have a metallic taste in your mouth and does your mouth start to burn after your toe does? I think at times I'm losing my mind.

I'm 55, getting close to 56 and I too get the burning mouth.I'm going through menopause and this is NOT fun!!I have GERD or acid reflux too,was on Prevacid which made me sick.I had terrible itching on my arms ,chest,back, burning mouth and a metal taste in my mouth.I stopped this Rx and the metal taste left,most of the burning did too...still have some of it.I read you can get this burning mouth just by going through menopause....nice huh?
It will also burn( in the vaginal area) after I have sex with my husband.I had tests done too, all were fine.
I sip ice cold water all day,this helps some.

The itching part can drive you in circles...Be sure and use a good lubricant during sex...This will help...Good luck...

I think I have you confused, the itching was from Prevacid,it's for acid in the stomach not the other end! ha. Other people have had the same reaction to this GERD/ acid reflux med.I read the burning mouth is all part of menopause..........how lovely is that? I sip ice water all day long,this helps.

That would probably drive me up the wall with the acid reflux...You know I used to have this and my doctor never knew this...They did all these tests and made me sleep with my head higher on the bed and it was probably this...As far as the burning in the vagina after you have sex, thank goodness I was right on this...One out of two is pretty good...

Good luck and I sure wish you well.....
