Behcet's Disease

I have a friend who was diagnosed today with Behçet’s disease. It’s rare overall but is rarer here in Canada. After doing some brief online research, this looks like it’s going to be really rough for her (she’s currently admitted in a hospital out of town for testing better than she could receive here). I personally have ME/CFS and POTS, so I know the generic how to help somebody with chronic illness tips, but wondering if anybody here has Behcets or knows somebody with Behcets and can give me some advice on how to support her? Thanks in advance :)

#BehcetsDisease

Short run down. Chronic strep throat as child. Tonsils removed. Allergic to strain of strep in 6th grade...almost killed me. Never regained "normal" health. On and off horrid joint pain, pain in eyes, multiple Derm diagnoses, chronic inflammation, chronic insomnia, asthma, then Arthritis, Bursitis, Depression, Anxiety, lost weight then gained over & over, pregnancy very painful and high risk. Spinal Stenosis, Sciatica, Anemia. Got pregnant again & was even worse. Thankful for 2 healthy kids, but Momma is not healthy. I'm 47 now. Labeled with Fibromyalgia but no treatment. Need to be back on pain meds but bc I stopped (MY choice), years ago Drs don't want me back on them. I have done so much research and I KNOW I have Behçet's Disease. Looking for somewhere to go in the US for the validation & proper treatment. 20+ years of struggling invisibly (until huge sores all over neck & head in May 2022). Currently on evil Prednisone, Colchicine, Mobic. Rheumatologist taking too long to have me jump through all of her hoops. Any advice appreciated 💜
