No: It's good that you were diagnosed; it's often missed and the consequences of this oversight can be fatal. Behcet's is a lifelong management problem, though it may remit. There are a variety of new medications; if i had this, i would be interested in a trial of thalidomide and/or an anti-tnf agent in addition to Prednisone for flareups. Good luck.
