You will find wonderful information and lots of support from others on the list. The problem with increased attacks MAY be Colcrys. We do not yet know why but quite a few members who were required to switch had sudden increases in flares. You CAN order colchicine from Canada and we can tell you how on the list.

Thank you nancy. I recently switched back to colchicine through Canada. But now they are about 2 months apart (my attacks) and lasting longer... I will check out the support groups on yahoo. Thank you

Hi there I'm from Canada and I just learned two years ago that I have FMF - My parents are from Sicily, Italy in the Mediterranean so I was a candidate. Stress is a monster for me.. the attacks are very painful and cause swelling in left leg.. hands and abdominal pain.. I use colchicine when I feel a swell up. It's manageable.
