thank you I have recently been diagnosed with bechets and my brother has identical symptoms to mine, I was wondering if it's likely that siblings would have same disease

[Hidden]

My sister has it too.

[lyddy]

just read that link that's that's really helpful, we also think my late grandfather may have had BD as well as he was ill for a long time with undiagnosed bowel problems,liver issues and bad eyes amongst other things

We are fairly certain my Mum has milder symptoms, although not diagnosed.
