Hi nickyclem sorry to hear you've had a couple of bad days. I think it is not uncommon for BD patients to experience fatigue after a period of activity such as you have described with your family. My symptoms are too numerous to mention all of them but I have also in the past experienced headaches and dizzy spells, pins and needles in arms and feet as well as severe leg cramps and joint pains. I have had a head MRI scan which showed nothing abnormal but that again is not unusual. The dizzyness was diagnosed as a type of vertigo which was managed with Prochlorperazine which was very effective. This is not necessarily associated with BD as I know others who have had it at some point. In regard to the fatigue you should try where possible to pace yourself and ensure that you get some rest after being very active. I know this may be difficult if you have children you need to care for but will help with managing your symptoms long term. I hope this helps and that you feel better soon.

Take care

Hi nicky,

None of that sounds good at all! Can you contact a hospital A&E/ER by phone & describe your symptoms to them, or get an urgent appointment with your own doctor? Your symptoms sound serious.

I know with Behcet's there is increased risk of Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis.

Nickyclem - are you under the care of a consultant? If not then you should ask to be assigned to one to have a full assessment of your symptoms and treatment.

take care
