Hi there! I've spent hours in the last 4 days reading up on many different syndroms, diseases and viruses. But it keeps coming back to Behcet's.
This last week overnight I woke up with many ulcers in my mouth and on my labia. They're now also on my scalp. I was having bloating issues in my tummy and a fever so I went to the doctor, not wanting to self diagnose. She immediately thought it may be herpes but then saw them and didn't seem too sure. Of course they're testing for it, and I'll find out tomorrow, but I've never had any signs of herpes before and I've been with the same man for 3 years.
I guess my question is, do my symptoms sound like it could be Behcet's, and how did you bring it up to your doctor? I want them to take me seriously.
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Symptoms: 3 days now
• Genital ulcers, and sores. Not clumped together
• Mouth ulcers and sores on tongue
• Sores on scalp
• Swollen and tender gums
• Swollen lymph nodes in armpits (both sides)
• low grade fever (broke after 24 hours)
• Indegestion (gone after medicine)
• Constipation (almost gone after medicine)
Sorry, if this is obnoxious, I just want to make sure if this sounds plausible that I try to get a diagnosis sooner than later. It just feels all so sudden.
Thank you!
