                        Dear M. Wells,  My name is Vicky and I have had Crohn's Disease for years.  However, when I was diagnosed, I was told that there was a possiblity that I had Behcets Disease.  Which is about the same as Crohn's, but with some other awful side-affects.  Do you get mouth ulcers?  I do almost monthly.  Deep vein thrombosis is also one of the symptoms.  I right now have a lump in my left leg.  It is about the size of the eraser part of a pencil and has been there for almost 9 months.  I do get some very severe pain in my leg, but not very often.  I have had it with doctors and frankly cannot afford any more testing.  So I have put this on hold.  Can you tell me more about the thrombosis in your arm?  I would really appreciate having someone else to talk to about this.  My husband and children try to be supportive, but just don't understand how hard it can be.  Thanks!  vrishel@sonic.net
