The ABDA works hard to support patients, family and caregivers in the following ways:
The American Behcet's Disease Association Newsletter is now published Quarterly. The newsletter is a critical part of our effort to bring news of diagnosis, treatment, and research and support to our network.
The ABDA ListServe is an e-mail forum supported by the ABDA where hundreds of Behcet's Sufferers from all over the world communicate as a family and share knowledge, advice, support and hope.
Pamphlets, articles and books with some of the most current information about Behcet's Disease and its treatment are available online, or through the newsletter.
The ABDA Website at www.behcets.com is full of information and support, including:
A place to post your story or reach out to others of similar situations
A place to recommend or search for a doctor who is knowledgeable about Behcet's Disease
Message Boards where members can post and review posts about a variety of Behcet's related topics
Access to a chat room where sufferer's chat on-line with others around the world
Event calendars and news about the Behcet's Community
We continue to operate an 800 information hotline (1-800-7BEHCETS) with volunteers answering 7 days a week.
