Hey, don't worry. Familial Mediterranean Fever is actually a genetic autoinflammatory disorder that causes recurrent fevers and painful inflammation in the abdomen or chest. It sounds very rare and scary, but it is manageable with proper daily medication from a doctor. Just take a deep breath, and let a specialist guide you.

When the doctor first mentioned Mediterranean fever, I completely freaked out thinking it was some dangerous tropical plague.

Please do not ignore recurrent fevers and body pain, and see a specialist doctor immediately for a correct diagnosis.
