I don't know that having Behcets in and of itself effects one's life expectancy. I think it very much depends on the specific symptoms rather than the diagnosis itself.

Behcet is not fatal. Complication could neurological & aneurysms.

Everyone is different. Some never have more than mild symptoms that come and go. Some have tough months and then nothing for years. Some thou have chronic systemic Behcet's because it takes so long to get diagnosed that they live in giant flares that are better some days and horrible the next. Mostly it is a manageable disease for most. Others not so much and they suffer complications and their bodies give out. Not everyone has the bad. Not everyone has the good. So we have to live in the present.

For most of us it is exactly the same.

Behcets can be managed. Most Behcets diagnosis come from the elderly population. There is a general 10 year after diagnosis but a lot of diagnosis happens later in life for many. With treatment most Behcets patients are reported to live a full life.

10 years less , depending on the age at the beginning of the disease.
