An animated, cited guide for students and patients. Educational only, not medical advice. Your place is saved on this device.

Not medical adviceFMF Companion is an educational synthesis of published literature for study and patient understanding. It does not replace a clinician. Doses and guideline statements are reported as published, not as instructions for any individual.

Part 1 · The disease

An attack, hour by hour

A typical FMF attack lasts 12 to 72 hours and then stops by itself. Choose where it strikes, then scrub through the attack. The tissue scene and the four curves move together.

Illustrative. No published study gives an hour-by-hour fever or pain curve. Shapes follow published descriptions (onset within hours, resolution in 12–72 h, attack and between-attack SAA/CRP medians). Individual attacks vary.

Attack patterns over the years

FMF Companion is an educational synthesis of the published literature on Familial Mediterranean Fever, made for a health-science course and for patient understanding.

It is not medical advice. It cannot diagnose, and nothing here should change a treatment without your own clinician. Guideline doses are quoted as published. Please check the original sources, which are listed in full in the Sources module.
