[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] PP from above. My DD had first Familial Mediterranean Fever episode at 14. They now say 90% of patients have their first episode before age 20.[/quote] OK. In my daughter symptoms started when she was a baby and the doctor said she would probably outgrow it, so I thought that would be the case with others as well. I see though that only about 65% have onset of symptoms before the age of 10. Abdominal pain is prevalent in 95% of cases though which OP didn't mention.[/quote] PP here again. Sort of surprised doctors would say she would outgrow it, but that is usually true of another, very similar, periodic fever syndrome, which is always the better diagnosis (PFAPA) for that reason. I did say stomach pain is frequent. The percentage of abdominal pain occurring in at least one of many episodes is probably that high, but my DD has had it very infrequently and it came later in the course of her disease.[/quote]
