Could it be Behçet’s?

Interesting question: Do I have Behçet’s?

With my old diet I had all these following symptoms, (almost) enough to meet the diagnostic criteria for Behçet’s:

• Minor aphthous ulceration [every couple of months in the mouth]
• Pseudofolliculitis [maybe a very very slight, but my follicles were always red]
• Papulopustular lesions [sometimes some]
• Acneiform nodules [not sure, I thought it was acne]
• Extreme exhaustion [Wouldn't call it "extreme", but yes I am quite fatigued]
• Nervous system symptoms [do muscle twitches and migraines count?]

(I am not sure if I might have had a very slight iritis, an inflammation of the iris. My eyecolor changed from green-brown – with brown "patches" – to a more uniform green with slight brown. And the blood veins in the white of my eye got less visible.)

These are the symptoms I had on my old diet, some of which I still have. And some of the symptoms return when I leave the path of the Paleo Diet and venture into my old diet (mainly when I eat pasteurized milk products or when I eat eggs).

And every symptom counts. I really paid not much attention to the aphthous ulcers in my mouth. They came and went again, I could live with them and they were the least of my problems – and why concern myself or even a doctor with such a small thing?

I fear I need go again on my old diet to provoke these symptoms. But not at the moment.

At the moment I am too tired to write more – but is interesting the things one finds.

Getting ill while being ill…

It is interesting that one can get ill while being ill. But why not? Got ME/CFS? Throw in some cold to get fun and interesting pain!

And the pain I feel is different from relapse-pain – I wasn't aware that there are so many muscles in my neck – and they all seem to hurt! Lovely.
