I have joint and bone pain. I do have arthritis, but the aching I think is behcets related. I know that this is a rare disease. The only cure that works for me is prednisone. I really want to get off of that, because I know it's not a good thing to be on it for long periods of time. I have been on it off and on for almost 14 years now. More so now. Seems also to be stress related somewhat. ANYONE-help (((Huggles)))Jodi Follow-Up Postings:

Extractions: ENTRANCE HOME LINKS FUN STUFF ... SEARCH BEHCET'S DISEASE Ralph Snyderman DEFINITION. Behcet's disease is an inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology characterized by recurrent oral and genital aphthous ulcers, ocular inflammation, and skin lesions of erythema nodosum and acneiform eruptions. Behcet's disease also frequently involves the joints, the central nervous system, and the gastrointestinal tract. I NCIDENCE AND PREVALENCE. Behcet's disease is common in northern Japan, Korea, China, and the Middle East. In Japan the current prevalence is 1 per 10,000. The frequency in the United States is far less. An annual incidence of 1 per 300,000 was determined for Olmstead County, Minnesota. The disease does not occur frequently in Japanese Americans, perhaps suggesting environmental factors in addition to genetic predisposition in the etiology of this illness. ETIOLOGY AND PATHOGENESIS. No infectious agent has been consistently isolated, although a viral etiology is suspected. Sera frequently contain circulating immune complexes of the IgA and IgG variety, as well as elevated levels of chernotactic activity for leukocytes. Antibodies reactive against oral mucosal cells have been found, and factors produced by patient's lymphocytes are toxic for oral mucosal cells. However, these findings are also present in individuals with recurrent aphthous stornatitis alone. Serum complement levels in Behcet's disease are usually elevated, particularly levels of C9. Most patients with neurologic involvement have demyelinating antibodies in their sera. There is a strong association of HLA-135 with Behqet's disease in Japan and in the Mediterranean area. Heavy metal exposure, certain foods (particularly English walnuts), and toxic factors such as organophosphates have initiated attacks in some individuals.

Extractions: Behcet's syndrome is classically characterized as a triad of symptoms that include recurring crops of mouth ulcers (called apthous ulcers), genital ulcers, and inflammation of a specialized area around the pupil of the eye, the uvea. The inflammation of the area of the eye that is around the pupil is called uveitis. Behcet's syndrome is also sometimes referred to as Behcet's disease. The cause of Behcet's syndrome is not known. The disease is more frequent and severe in patients from the Eastern Mediterranean and Asia than those of European descent. Both inherited (genetic) and environmental factors, such as microbe infections, are suspected to be factors that contribute to the development of Behcet's syndrome. Behcet's syndrome has not been felt to be contagious. What are symptoms of Behcet's syndrome?

Extractions: Title: Inhibition of inflammatory cytokine production by cholinergic agonists and vagus nerve stimulation United States Patent: Issued: January 4, 2005 Inventors: Tracey; Kevin J. (Old Greenwich, CT) Assignee: North Shore-Long Island Jewish Research Institute (Manhasset, NY) Appl. No.: Filed: May 28, 2003 Abstract A method of inhibiting the release of a proinflammatory cytokine in a cell is disclosed. The method comprises treating the cell with a cholinergic agonist. The method is useful in patients at risk for, or suffering from, a condition mediated by an inflammatory cytokine cascade, for example endotoxic shock. The cholinergic agonist treatment can be effected by stimulation of an efferent vagus nerve fiber, or the entire vagus nerve. Description of the Invention BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention generally relates to methods of reducing inflammation. More specifically, the invention relates to methods for reducing inflammation caused by proinflammatory cytokines or an inflammatory cytokine cascade. 2. Description of the Related Art
