FMF: I am going to assume that the diagnosis of familial mediterranean fever has been established. You are right to question whether you need to be on lifelong medication for what seems to be a mild episodic disease. You do. Colchicine is fairly effective in preventing amyloidosis, which complicated untreated fmf and (forgive me) is a miserable way to die. Be proactive, learn about fmf, and good luck.
