Thank you Christine for your reply.

I have never had a biopsy although I have insisted it with several Doctors and all of them say it unnecessary as they think what I have is Burning Mouth syndrom, geographic tongue, misaligned teeth and the latest I was diagnosed with is reflux. Which I have no burning in the chest.

It's hard to get someone to give you a test (biopsy) even though it's coming out of your own pocket.

I have an upper endoscopy scheduled because they think that this all relates to acid reflux but I just don't think that is it. I know what reflux feels like as I had it in my earlier years from eating bad foods.

The Doctor that I saw last did a swab of my mouth and sent it for labs to see if there was bacteria. But I don't know if that will really help. It is very frustrating.

I did also see someone that recommended a specialist in St. Louis that is an ENT that specializes in OC. I drove 2 hours to see him basically for him to laugh at me and send me on my way. frown
