MWS Symptoms
Like FCAS, people with MWS (Muckle-Wells Syndrome) usually start having symptoms from birth. Occasionally, symptoms may start later in childhood.4
Symptoms can occur without any obvious reason. Only a few things have been linked to starting or making symptoms of MWS (Muckle-Wells Syndrome) worse.For example, symptoms can begin after a person is exposed to cold temperature, feels stressed, or when the body is tired.4
There may be some days when symptoms are not felt, but they always come back.
These symptoms may start any time after being set off.
Most symptoms last 1 to 2 days, although some can last longer.4
