Story
Behçets (pronounced Bet-Jets), also known as Behçets Disease or Behçets Syndrome is a rare, complex and lifelong condition resulting from disturbances in the body's immune system. Symptoms, some debilitating, occur wherever there is a patch of inflammation; this can be anywhere where there is a blood supply from the brain down to the feet. Behçets UK cares for all those affected by Behçets including patients and their carers. They promote and fund research into the condition and their ultimate aim is to find a cure but in the meantime, they strive to obtain the best care for all Behçets patients. Behçet's UK doesn't receive any government funding and relies on the generosity of donors to continue to provide their services and deliver their aims.
