A Dream Is Worth Sharing

	Marjorie Ford. A Behcet's Patient.
	M.J. Birch - A Canadian Behcet's Patient with her best friend Sam. Sam is 19 years old. M.J. traveled all the way to the U.K. to be treated with a new experimental procedure called COMPATH. She was going to go through another (final) treatment which might of been her cure except the doctor was killed in a unfortunate boating accident. She claims this doctor and clinic saved her life. She still deals with spinal pain and delegation, heart trouble, etc. MJ has been a long time supporter of BD. We are all hoping that another doctor will take up the wonderful work that was started in the UK.
	Terry Gibson in Jan of 1993, before she started using steroids to treat her Behcet's. Terry was diagnosed in 1992 with Hypothyroidism and has been using Synthroid. In 1995 she was diagnosed Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency) and started using steroids-Cortef/Hydorcort 10mg 4 days a week and 15 mg 3 days a week. In 1997, Terry was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Behcets. Terry, like a lot of BDer's, believes she showed symptoms of Behcet's Disease when she was very young. She remembers cold sores, old-leg aches and blood clots from age five and up. I bet she heard the words "growing pains" so many times when she was young that it still makes her cringe.

	Laurie Lambertson and Lisa Lyne. Picture was taken at the ABDA convention. Laurie is a very special lady that has supported BD most of her life. She has volunteered for several organizations that support this disorder. Currently, she is being treated for a brain tumor associated with Behcet's Disease. It is affecting her pituitary gland. She claims she is taking a break from all her volunteer work but she is always out there helping someone in need.
