Are there ways to successfully cope with Behçet's disease?
Both rest and activity are helpful coping mechanisms. A consistent exercise regimen will make your body feel better, thus easing the pain on your joints and other problem areas. Alternatively, taking some time to rest when you begin to feel harsh pain will also improve your overall mood and lessen the effect of some of the symptoms. Another way to cope is through shared experience and community, which means finding others who also have this condition. This can sometimes be difficult, due to the rarity of this disease, but your doctor can help you find others who may be having similar experiences.
