PERIODIC FEVER SYNDROME.

You may or may have not heard of this, but that is ok because the point of this journey blog is to inform you about a rare condition, either if you are a woman or male. The periodic fever syndrome is such a diverse group of disorders. They are either conditioned by hereditary or gene mutation. These two factors are determined by a long-life medication, which will be what one has been treated from the past to the present.

From the early age of 18 months old, I experienced a serious case of symptoms that were predicted to be determined as periodic fever syndrome (PFS). The immune of the human body system will try to identify and destroy healthy cells, creating a harmful experience. This would include either viruses or bacteria. Although, these variables were not the results. The immune system is compromised to keep you healthy and avoid the stated influences as stated above. Therefore, when the inflammation is triggered, it has an important role to keep everything intact and protecting the red and white blood cells. A full-blood count will be inducted to showcase testing from C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and palette levels. These levels will demonstrate the inflammatory markers throughout your flare-up, disease or virus, therefore, showing significant evidence of symptoms.

These cells are substances to the brain, signalling to the brain to occur fever temperatures, rashes and joint pain. This syndrome is common in a young child's development with multiple episodes of fevers and rashes. It has been researched this is common to start from the age of two- and five-years young. I would experience these episodes multiple times a year, more so when changing yearly seasons. Nothing determined this change due to never having the ol’ common cold.

This is where the adventure begins, being introduced to a local paediatric and professor paediatric rheumatologist, I cherished this journey. EM and MM were confident enough to have these professionals research and detail my condition, with-being medications to ensure to prevent relapses. Crazy to think that I have been on medications from a grom age, which would be a problem in the short- and long-term. A primary medication, Colchicine was treated to prevent these flare-ups, taken daily. Alternatively, where I experienced a flare-up or symptomatically presenting, Prednisone Steroids were also used to suppress the immune system and decrease inflammation as soon as possible. This was subjected to either oral or IV, depending on the condition. These medications are conditioned for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), asthma and lupus.
