We have had rain here in Oregon for 18 days straight.It should be in the 70-80 by this time of year.My poor roses are all wilted and getting black mold on the leaves from all the rain and damp.All the vegetables that have been planted are water lagged and not growing the way they should be.We cant plant any thing else until we get some warm sunny weather.On top of that imagine every time its cold and damp your fingers and every joint in your body hurts.I can not walk more them 5 Min's with out my leg going numb and the feeling of pins and needles in my foot is so bad i have to sit down and stop what ever it is i am doing until it stops hurting and i can try and walk again.If you don't know what Behcets is here is just a little information so you understand what i go through each day.I have chosen NOT to be on steroid's or chemo at this time.We just can not afford it.We are drowning as it is in bills and i don't see light helping us any time soon.No sun and dark days can be very depressing.Hope we get some sun soon i do not like this dark depressing place i am At right now.Love to you and yours......
Behcet's Syndrome
Also called: Behcet's disease
Behcet's syndrome is a disease that involves inflammation of the blood vessels. It causes problems in many parts of the body. The most common symptoms are
Sores in the mouth
Sores on the sex organs
Other skin sores
Swelling of parts of the eye
Pain, swelling and stiffness of the joints
More serious problems can include meningitis, blood clots, inflammation of the digestive system and blindness.
Doctors aren't sure what causes Behcet's. It is rare in the United States, but is common in the Middle East and Asia. It mainly affects people in their 20s and 30s. Diagnosing Behcet's can take a long time, because symptoms may come and go, and it may take months or even years to have all of the symptoms. There is no cure. Treatment focuses on reducing pain and preventing serious problems.
