Jasmin’s symptoms started when she was five years old, but because most of them were so common - ulcers, ear infections, migraines - she was diagnosed with Behçet's Disease when she was 24. She was relieved when she heard her diagnosis, because it showed her that her symptoms were real and not imaginary. Jasmin has learned to deal with daily pain and neurological effects and is now paying those lessons forward to other patients, caregivers, and advocates.

I have a similar story. I got oral ulcers at five, and it has gotten worse and now I’m 24. I’ve had over 100 mouth ulcers in a year. They’re so painful. My rheumatologist believes it’s Behcet’s. Your story really means a lot to me and I hope all goes well

I also have Behcets, and im 14 and i was diagnosed at 10 years old. I still can’t be on remission and i don’t have a good life, everything falls apart for me. The doctors told me i would be better in a year but now it has been 4 years and i have just gotten worse. No one believed me before i got diagnosed and once a doctor told my mom when i was staying in the hospital that “you should take your daughter to a therapist because i think she’s making up feeling sick for attention”

The irony in this story is that Behcet's disease could arguably be one of, if not, the deadliest chronic illness on the the face of the earth. Luckily however, this condition is usually between 0.1-5% of how severe it could be theoretically speaking. Furthermore, the are medications and diets that can bring this illness under control. But of course, this story just goes to show, if they can't find your condition in a lab test then, unfortunately, they can't diagnose you.

I’m so relieved right now. I have been researching for YEARS & now I think I solved this. In Boston - where we supposedly have the best medical care in the WORLD - but somehow no one could bother taking me seriously - just pass me around specialist to specialist. I’m done taking this from doctors - I am going to bring my boyfriend, and mom in with me too. Maybe then they’ll take me seriously..even though I’m a 38 year old woman - not sure if my adhd meds were masking some symptoms for a while or if i went into a remission but ugh relief. Literally making my appt now.

As a 50something year old woman I had absolutely given up on specialists- we live in a rural community and specialists are more than a 3 hour drive away. I went to them all, they dealt with symptoms I had but I gave up on going to them it was never any real answers. I didn’t expect a diagnosis when I went to the new local doctor we got.. he sat with me for an hour and a half. He had studied my chart prior to seeing me in our local clinic and I walked away knowing there might be an overreaching diagnosis. I have 5 of the symptoms for the diagnosis before I even going to the eye specialist.

I was diagnosed with it at 22. I was losing vision and they didn't understand why. Uveitis was my only symptoms. After 2 years or trialing different failing immunotherapies, they finally found something to control the inflammation. They put me on Humira, a very strong new immunosuppressive medication. This controlled all further flares ups for the last 7 years and I have lived a normal happy life. I can still see fine. Make sure you have 1 specialist looking after your son that will know him back to front. Document the changes daily so you can reflect back. Your son can still live a normal healthy life, he just is going on a long journey. Let me know if you have any questions

Thank you for sharing your amazing story. I am facing with Behçet's disease as well. I got uveitis retinal vasculitis at 15 and now I'm 25. My ophthalmologist believes that it's Behcet's because they always check my body, blood cells both red and white, even my organs, all things are normal except my eyes that they didn't know how it happens. I spent my youth at hospital, got treatment every 2 month, took medications more than 5 pills in different types everyday. However, now I decided to studying aboard even this disease still appears. Someday I will be blurred person due to this disease, so if I have any chance to do what I want, I will grab this and do before I cannot. Your story really means to me and I hope anyone who faces with this disease goes well.

Most are like me if in an HMO, passed from doctor to doctor and told you most likely have a form of vasculitis but only rheumatologists can make the diagnosis. Go there, get told all kinds of ignorant stuff. Suffer with it for 30 years being given steroid drugs to control it and still no diagnosis. I’ve had every Behcets symptom blisters everywhere depending on the episode, eyes, internal bleeding, bumps blood blister in the throat etc. Doctors don’t like to diagnose rare conditions

The rheumatologist was the last dr I got to before my diagnosis but that is the best place to start! Depending on your symptoms they will rule out everything else. Unfortunately there's no lab tests to confirm Behçets, it's usually diagnosed based off of ruling out everything else and your symptoms.

speedv12 it really depends, I was diagnosed with Behçet’s no to long a go. If you think you have Behçet’s try talking about this with your doctor. Only talk about it if you have the symptoms though (12 ulcers in the mouth at the one time, ulcers in other places,strokes or lightheaded, can’t move your body,terrible ace/pimples on back and other places) bare in mind it’s very unlikely your have Behçet’s if you only have one symptom. I get you no one can feel the pain your going through and that is one of the hardest things I was struggling with bc lots of people get a mouth ulcer from time to time but no one knows what it feels like to have 15 in your mouth at once. I’m still on the way to get better. Have you been diagnosed with Behçet’s yet??? Let me know. P.S if you have anymore question you can ask me as I know a lot of stuff about my rare disease :D
