Yes, burning sensations and metallic taste in the mouth are symptoms that many people with RA experience. These symptoms can be related to either the condition itself or as side effects from RA medications, particularly methotrexate and Remicade.

Some myRAteam members have reported similar experiences with burning sensations, metallic taste, and mouth discomfort during flares. To help manage these symptoms, some members have found relief by:
- Sucking on candies
- Chewing gum (like Dentyne)
- Drinking juices or cola
- Staying hydrated

It's important to discuss these symptoms with your rheumatologist, as they can help identify whether they're related to your RA flare or medication side effects and suggest appropriate management strategies.
