Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Dear Master Fe Thank you and blessings for managing this important service. I have someone I am treating who has Behcet's Disease which presents like Lupas & MS and is an autoimmune disease. The body attacks its own small blood vessels, and this happens randomly and everywhere. Historically the following health issues have been experienced, rheumatoid arthritis (nearly all joints), mouth ulcers, hearing loss, plueresy, fatigue, chronic headaches, migranes (new thing only in last six months and getting them every two weeks or so at the moment) chronic gastrointestinal problems, skin problems. In addition has a high intolerance to dairy foods. Could you please provide me with some specific techniques to follow for this individual. Thank you in advance. Blessings of Love & Light Greg Walker Western Australia.---------------- Dear Greg, Greetings. MEDICAL INFORMATION: BEHCET'S DISEASE " Behcet’s Disease is a rare, autoimmune rheumatic disorder that causes the inflammation of blood vessels anywhere in the body. This inflammation is known as vasculitis. The location of the inflammation(s) is what dictates your symptoms. Behcet’s Disease was named for Hulusi Behcet, a Turkish doctor who first identified this “triple-symptom complex.” He published a paper in 1937 noting “recurrent oral and genital ulcerations, as well as hypopyon-iritis” in two of his patients. We now know that Behcet’s Disease (BD) encompasses a much wider range of medical problems beyond these three classic Behcet’s symptoms. How is Behcet's Disease diagnosed? The diagnosis of Behcet’s Disease is based on having a specific set of symptoms. Contrary to what some health care providers say, it’s not necessary to show all of the diagnosable medical problems of BD at the same time, in one office visit. Behcet’s may start with just one or two small symptoms that come and go -- typically, ulcerations -- and then other symptoms or clues may appear gradually over the years. Because BD can affect so many different body systems, patients usually see a variety of specialists, none of whom may be aware of the “big picture” at first. As a result, it might actually take several years before all of the clues are put together and a diagnosis of Behcet’s is reached. That’s why medical documentation of your symptoms, as they appear, is very important. In the event that you can’t be seen by a doctor before your symptoms fade, personal documentation (for example, pictures of skin lesions, or a daily record of health problems) can be helpful for future reference. Some of the symptoms of Behcet’s Disease also appear in other diseases such as lupus, Lyme disease and Crohn’s disease, to name a few. It may be necessary to undergo various blood tests and/or biopsies in order to rule out these other diseases before you can be diagnosed with Behcet’s. Being diagnosed with Behcet’s Disease can cause a lot of worries and frustration -- worries because you don’t know what the future will bring, and frustration because, even with a diagnosis, you’ll come up against specialists who will say that your symptoms are all in your head. You may have heard this line of thought already, from more than one doctor. Of course, you know that your medical issues are real. The primary symptoms of Behçet’s Disease are: recurrent oral ulcerations in almost 100% of patients [painful aphthous ulcers, testing negative for herpes] plus any TWO of the following four symptoms: -recurrent genital ulcerations [resembling oral ulcers, usually painful, testing negative for herpes] -eye inflammation -- uveitis (anterior or posterior), cells in the vitreous, or retinal vasculitis -skin lesions (erythema nodosum, pseudo-folliculitis, papulopustular lesions or acneiform nodules consistent with Behcet's Disease, observed by a physician in post-adolescent patients not receiving corticosteroids) -a positive pathergy test [a special skinprick test using a sterile needle and sterile saline solution, performed during a time of active Behcet's symptoms. However, North American patients rarely test positive, even during disease activity.] Other symptoms that may be useful in diagnosis, but are not considered part of the International Behçet’s Criteria: -subcutaneous thrombophlebitis [inflammation of a vein beneath the skin] -deep vein thrombosis [development of a blood clot] -Epididymitis [swelling and pain in one or both testicles] -arterial occlusion and/or aneurysm [stroke] -central nervous system involvement [e.g.: difficulties in movement or speech, memory loss] -severe headaches with stiff neck [possible aseptic meningitis] -joint pain [arthralgia] or non-destructive arthritis -GI tract involvement [e.g.: bloating, cramping, diarrhea, bloody stools. -Lesions may appear anywhere in digestive tract, from mouth to lower bowel] -renal involvement [kidney function abnormalities] -pulmonary [lung] vascular inflammation and pleuritis family history Along with the symptoms described above, you may experience severe fatigue -- although as a general rule, fatigue can be a problem in many of the autoimmune diseases. It can also be caused by some medications. Many patients have questioned whether Behçet’s Disease can create problems with their hearing -- for example, tinnitus, fluctuating hearing loss, sudden deafness, and/or dizziness from inner ear vasculitis. It is also possible to have cardiac disturbances associated with Behçet’s Disease. This includes arrhythmias (abnormally slow or fast heartbeats). Some physicians prefer to divide their Behçet’s cases into " Complete " versus " Incomplete " categories. The criteria used for these categories can differ from physician to physician. In general, though, a patient with " Complete " Behcet's has three or more of the major symptoms described in the International Criteria, and one or more of the minor symptoms. A patient with " Incomplete " Behcet's has at least two major symptoms, and one or two minor symptoms. Patients with Incomplete BD may or may not progress to a full-blown case of Behçet's. There is no known cause for Behcet’s Disease, although some people suspect that an environmental element, an unknown virus, or perhaps a bacterial infection may trigger the disease in people who already have a genetic predisposition for Behcet’s. Behcet’s isn’t contagious. While it’s possible that someone you know may show some of your same symptoms, their symptoms may be caused by a medical problem totally unrelated to BD. Some newly diagnosed people are worried because they think that having Behcet’s means they can no longer have a normal life. Granted, your life may now be different from what it was, but many patients are still able to carry on with family, friends and work -- just at a reduced level, depending on their symptoms. Behcet’s is a chronic, unpredictable disease, and there’s no definite progression of symptoms. It causes your immune system to be overactive, so check with your doctor before taking any herbal remedy (such as echinacea) to boost your immune system, because it may make your symptoms worse. Some people never develop serious eye disease or have nervous system involvement. For most people, Behcet’s is a long-term, cyclical disease that comes and goes in “flares” of varying intensities.
