Discovery Health's "Mystery Diagnosis" episode
about my 17-year search for a Behcet's diagnosis:

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THIS "MYSTERY DIAGNOSIS" EPISODE:
- I didn't supply the picture in this video of fluid-filled blisters (called vesicles) that covered the patient's legs. When I get these blisters, they're nearly always on my fingers/hands or feet/toes. I've never had them all over my legs like the picture shows, and I haven't heard of other BDers with extensive blister eruptions on their legs like the picture showed, either. Of course, that doesn't mean it can't happen, just that I haven't heard of it or seen it through my own connections. From what I understand, though, other autoimmune illnesses could cause big eruptions like that: Sweet's syndrome may be one possibility, and Sweet's occasionally shows up in people who have BD.
- I also didn't supply the picture of oral ulcers that appears in the video (i.e., that wasn't my mouth in the picture).
- The show implied there was one specific drug that put me into remission, but that wasn't the case. My remission lasted approximately two years.
