If you're a BMS patient, I get you. It is a horrendous, agonizing pain. And on top of the constant physical burning, the discovery that dentists and medical doctors don't seem to know much about it is deeply devastating.

My mission is to continue monitoring my situation, take absolutely nothing for granted, and offer every single one of my self-experiments as open data for the entire community, researchers, dentists, and doctors so we can find real solutions.

I cannot make promises, and I don't know how many people my discoveries will help. But I know it is worth talking about, documenting, and sharing openly. If all of us share our observations and work together, patients, dentists, doctors, and researchers, we have genuine hope of reducing symptoms, extending pain-free windows, or even eliminating the fire completely.

In my case, finding my specific dietary and dental triggers has allowed me to remain pain-free for the last 18 months. I don't know if my exact protocol will work for everyone, but my ultimate hope is that by pooling our collective wisdom, we can solve this together.
