Does my partner have Behcets?
Hi all,
I know Reddit can’t diagnose and we need to go see a doctor. But insurance access is limited due to career situations so just trying to get some sort of clarity.
Posting this as my partner lays next to me in a lot of pain from his third flare up of mouth ulcers. This time it’s not as bad, they’re just covering his lower lip and tongue. But the previous two flare ups they were everywhere—lips, gums, cheek lining, tongue, back of throat. He was in so much pain it was like he was swallowing glass.
The 1-2 days before the ulcers erupt, he presents very sickly, with bloodshot/puffy eyes, chills, fatigue, soreness. This has been the case for all 3 flare ups.
No genital symptoms which might be strange for this condition?
I guess next step is to pay for overpriced state insurance and find a doctor to get him diagnosed. Is there anything else I could possibly do? I’m so tired of seeing him in so much pain every few months.
