A member asked:
I have attacks that last from 1-3 days every 6 months - 1 year, i'm a heterozygous fmf and i have high level of amyloidosis, could my pain be fmf?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be: FMF is part of the auto inflammatory syndromes. Heterozygoustiy in some cases has been linked to clinically significant FMF attacks. FMF episodes typically include fever, joint pain and swelling and pleurisy. Don't have enough information about the pain to make any connection currently.
