Members connected over the frustrating experience of swollen, painful tongues that feel burnt even without hot food exposure, with many recognizing it as a common but poorly understood symptom of fibromyalgia. Several members shared that their doctors have had few answers, though one mentioned a steroid shot helped temporarily with swelling, and others noted that scalloped tongue edges could signal hypothyroidism or that deep cracks and mouth sores might point toward conditions like lupus or trigeminal neuralgia. A recurring theme was the search for relief and understanding, with members trying remedies like vitamins and colloidal silver while wondering if the burning sensation stems from medications, allergies, or simply fibromyalgia itself.
