Follow-Up:

To make a long story short, when I first got bms I noticed a dark pigment around my upper lip. It looked like dark lip liner. I also had the burning lower lip. Also had a upper left tooth feel like the nerve was twitching and it went from left to right to lower right back to lower left tooth just in a matter of seconds. It was weird. Went to doc about these symptoms, he suggested going to see a dentist because I could be having a battery effect in my mouth from the different metals. Went to the dentist had my lower left fillings removed and the dark pigment around my lip disappeared, so did the burning of my lower lip. This was about 2yrs ago. I still have the burning tongue but it is not that intense as some people. I still have more filling to be removed and I hope it will help with the rest of the problems. I have an appointment this friday for a another consultation with the dentist since it has been so long after the first visit. Having your fillings removed is expensive if you don't have insurance. I do know that the longer that I have bms the more strange symptoms I am starting to have.
