I went to see my GP this morning I told him about the problem I'm having with my mouth.
He told me that I might be lacking in iron and that may be causing the problem so I have to go for a blood test to find out.
I will of course let you all know how I get on and I would like to say a BIG thank you for all of your replys.

Hi Bob
Good luck with your appointment. Please do let us know how you get on.
As I said to you yesterday my dentist was adamant that my Burning Mouth Syndrome was a lack of Vitamin B12.
After I had some blood tests, my results showed that I was low in Vitamin B12 and was anaemic as well.
It does seem to take a long time to get these deficiencies back to anywhere near normal.
Have a good weekend

Hi BOB, I hope you are being tested for other things, not just iron.
As BlueMermaid3 has said, it could be Vitamin B12 too.
Hope you are able to get the results and supplements quickly and feel better soon.

Hope it is so something easy to put right eg having some extra vitamins let us know how you get on.x
Hi bobajob glad you got into see your GP so quick and hopefully it can be sorted out for you just as quickly too xx
