Ok, im not really sure where to post
this.
But ive been told by my doctor I may have
behcets.
Im just a normal 15 year old girl,
i dont exercise alot, or have a good
healthy diet.
But im very tiny and just 7 stone, I dont
think weight has much to do with it
though.
Well..
Sinse the age of 12, I noticed it felt
rather sore when going to the toilet.
Being 12, my mum was very concerned and
took me to the doctors right away, the
doctor was also very concerned, and took a
look, and thought maybe I had an std.
He said there was a lump on my vigina, by
my urinating hole, and said it looked like
an ulcer, asked me some questions which
shocked me because I hadnt even kissed a
boy at that age :oops: . The doctor took
a swob and gave me some stuff to put in
the bath, said if it was bad they would
ring my mum, they didnt, and by about 3
days it vanished.
I got it a second time, at 13. It was
horrible. I had it over xmas, I just
wanted to cry I couldnt jump around with
my little brother and play with hes toys
because it hurt enough to go to the
toilet, and to walk. Like usuall after a
week it gradually went.
I got it a 3rd time about 4 months later.
Got down to the doctors, they didnt think
much of it, told me to drink lots of
cranberry juice and I should be fine.
A 4th time, at 14, last summer I had it,
they asked me questions again about being
sexually active and I wasnt (which was the
truth) they refured me to the hospital in
september but I was very embarrest that so
many people would see my privates parts,
so my mum cancelled. Anyway..I thought it
would go and proberly not come back..I had
it enough times. But I was wrong.
2 weeks ago, it came back. Now at 15 I am
sexually active, but having it the 5th
time it cant be to do with sex, I had an
std test 5 months ago and was clear from
anything.
I saw the doctor last monday who told me
to visit the g.U unit, which is a sexual
clinic and doctors.
They had a look, and said I may have
behcets.
Id never heard of it, so when I got home I
told my mum and she looked it up on the
internet, and told me blood isnt going
round my body properly, I could go blind
or possibly disabled, and have lots of
problems in the future which are right now
uncurable.
I am in so much shock, after 3 years of
suffering from it on and off they give me
an answer.
I have no family history of it, but I did
suffer very bad side head aches a few
months ago, and sinse 1st discovering it I
was very depressed from my parents divorce
and still am.
When they got divorced my phsorices (sorry
cant spell - its from stress and lack of
sunlight) flarred up very badly, and I
still have it, also ive suffered from
terrible mouth ulcers for the past 3
years.
They have gone down alot now.
I just want an answer to this. I dont
want to think that im going to have this
for the rest of my life.
Im taking my gcse's very soon..What if it
effects them and I fail?
Im terrified im not going to have a good
future..
Sorry for such a long message,
please help me :(. Or give me some
advice.
I would appreciate it so much.
Luv jade xx
