This is such a great overview. I’m pretty sure I have this and I’m about to start trying to get diagnosed-very nervous!

Hi im in UK with behcets disease and positive HLA-B51. I also have other conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Hypermobility Syndrome, Arthritis and Autism. Are many of these conditions connected? Im wondering how many with Behcets have others like me?

[@vasculitisfoundation]

That's an interesting question. There has been research that shows that having one autoimmune disease increases your chance of having another autoimmune disease. I hope you get some responses from other people who have Behcet's. It would be interesting to hear if they've had a similar experience. You can find more information on Behcet's disease on our website www.vasculitisfoundation.org/education/vasculitis-types/behcets-syndrome/ plus information about our virtual support groups. I also wanted to share the link to our Behcet's KZbin playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLr6Bwau6uSmtgcrprAo4-fGsGBuLMbVEy.
