Hi all,
After 10 years of suffering from migraines, swollen joints, aches, oral ulcers and more recently genital ulcers and diminished vision a professor of Rheumatology has diagnosed Behcets.
He gave me a leaflet to read and has prescribed 60mg of Prednisolone, calcium tablets with vitamin d and myclophenalate. I'm so confused about all of this, I don't understand the terms they are using, the names of the drugs or what happens going forward?
I'm also seeing an eye specialist, after a florescine eye test it shows I have seriously reduce blood flow at the back of my eyes, the consultant mentioned vasculitis but then he was talking about uveitis ?? Are they the same, different or part of Behcets?
Anything anyone can do to explain any of this including what happens moving forward with Behcets would be greatly appreciated.
