Peggy Sharr is a licensed clinical psychotherapist, writer, and fierce advocate for those suffering with Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS), a condition she knows all too intimately. After losing her son to suicide and battling relentless mouth pain that doctors couldn’t explain, Peggy embarked on a journey through grief, chronic illness, and medical gaslighting. What she discovered along the way became the foundation for The Burning Mouth Syndrome Survival Guide—a raw, honest, and practical resource born from personal trial, error, and resilience. Peggy brings to her writing the same qualities that made her a trusted therapist: compassion, validation, and an unflinching willingness to say the hard things out loud. Her guide is both memoir and manual, blending lived experience with detailed strategies that helped her reclaim her life from BMS. She is also a passionate researcher, committed to uncovering what the medical world often overlooks. Whether it’s developing a diet, investigating hormonal links, discovering supplementation strategies, or decoding placebo patterns, Peggy documents every step in clear, actionable detail to help others avoid the years of suffering she endured. When she’s not writing or working with clients, Peggy spends her time cooking BMS-safe meals, walking in nature, traveling, painting, and soaking in beautiful moments with her husband and loving family. She currently lives in Georgia, where she continues to heal, advocate, and connect with others who are searching for answers.
