I am currently in hospital with a bad flare up, my 4th hospitalisation since last October, only this flare started with the skin growing thick under my nails and pushing the nails off the nail bed followed by small blisters on fingertips resulting in nails falling off, and I also have eye involvment. Both issues the doctors are dubious it has anything to do with behcets simply because they haven t seen this before. The front layer of skin on my eye has completely peeled away but once again they are going down the viral infection root. I am sitting here waiting for the viral swop to confirm it is not viral (as it has done the last 3 times). So fed up with doctors dismissing it as all related to the behcets simply because they ve not seen it before. You are the fist person I have heard of where you have lost your nails.

Cut out wheat, dairy, tomatoes and over ripe fruit, I manage my Behçets this way, as I found that I was intolerant to the bulking agents in medication, and also sugar, B vitamins any food's fortified, i,e anything that is heavily processed, and just use warm salted water as a mouth wash, it's the migraines and chronic fatigue I struggle with to control.
