I read it's common: Fmf attacks are triggered by the complex hormonal system of our bodies, a chaotic system that defies full analysis. From my reading, maybe 15% of women get an attack with each period. Whether you want to up your rx at this time is between you and your physician. Compliance with your prescription is important to prevent deadly amyloidosis as a complication -- but you know that. Stay proactive.
