A member asked:
Is there any relations between otoimmune disease and familial mediterranean fever?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but...: They mimic each other, since both are prone to cause serositis unexpectedly. The most important thing to know about fmf -- if you actually have it -- is to comply with your treatment even if you do not feel sick. It will make you much less likely to get amyloidosis, which is a miserable way to go. Best wishes.
