A member asked:

I've had behcet's disease for 3 years. it seems to be "death by a thousand cuts". is there really no cure/treatment available?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It can be treated: There are several treatment options for behcet's disease. It depends on the areas involved and the severity of that involvement as to what therapy is initially indicated. For more significant disease, tnf agents (enbrel, remicade, (infliximab) etc) often have good benefit. Talk to a rheumatologist.
