A Rheumatologist explains: Behcet's Disease

[@ladeek35]

Thank you so very much. This is the best explanation I’ve heard so far. My Rheumy suspects I have BD and MCD. My life came to a dead debilitating bed/house bound stop 10 years ago. Fortunately, I’m in treatment. Thanks again.

[@SURVIVINGEMMERAIN]

Gratitude! I had symptoms since the age of 9 and diagnosed at age 19. I’m now 38

[@zarinach21]

Thank you. I am 21 and I was just recently disgnosed with Behçet’s which severely attacked my eyes, getting a diagnosis was the hardest part

[@youkendehunique6317]

What did they use to test for a diagnosis?

[@cbutler9540]

Your explanations are excellent!

[@abdullaalsaqi8182]

Thanks for the information but can you expand our knowledge on treatment and drug options

[@SaiKumar-vd3cp]

Yes, I was 11 when I first diagnosed with and been medication close to 10 whole years. Definitely medication helped me but constant effort to maintain your decent lifestyle really helps. For better understanding I'm now 30 and all the symptoms still appear.

[@suprithaks62]

@@SaiKumar-vd3cp has the medication help you get better? How often do you get mouth ulcers? If you don't mind answering.

[@SaiKumar-vd3cp]

It definitely did but it can only help you 80%, rest is your food habits and physical activities. And mouth ulcer, I want to avoid because I'm suffering with that almost 20 days in a month. After every 15 days of cooling period I see body rashes and genital ulcers. Also reddish eyes and flairs are more common Now joint aches are better now. Ther are many more symptoms but all that have become routine now, nothing hurts me.

[@SaiKumar-vd3cp]

@@suprithaks62 sorry to ask you, have you been diagnosed? If you're based in India and especially from Hyderabad, I can suggest you a good doctor.

[@HariKrishnasjhk]

[@vparakhin]

Is it awesome when doctors are happily gleeful and grinning when they explain why people are suffering from the most horrifying diseases. It's as if doctors are enjoying it very much when people are suffering.
