Managing Symptoms

Simple Things You Can Do to Help Manage CAPS (Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndrome)

If you have a rare, genetic condition called CAPS, these are some suggestions given by an expert in CAPS that may help you in managing Symptoms:

• Prevent many symptoms by avoiding cold and dressing warmly
• Treat episodes by soaking in a warm bath
• Ease a flare of symptoms by drinking warm liquids

But in a lot of cases, these changes may not help in FCAS (Familial Cold Autoinflammatory Syndrome) or Muckle-Wells Syndrome (MWS).

• 97% of CAPS patients had complete response within the first treatment period (8 weeks). The majority of patients (71%) had complete response in just 7 days
• Complete response was measured by lab results and by the doctor's evaluation of the patient's skin disease and symptoms as being minimal or better, including symptoms such as rash, fatigue, muscle pain, headache or migraine, sore or red eyes, and joint pain
• A flare was measured by lab results and by the doctor's evaluation of the patient's symptoms as being mild or worse, or an evaluation of both the patient's symptoms and skin disease as being minimal or worse
