Hi - It is not surprising to see that you've found a very

informative article AGAIN for us to read. I wondered what classified

a " remission " and if I would ever see it. Unfortunately, I don't

appear to be in the 30% of the patients who will see a remission. I

will not give up hope, though. There are new things coming down the

pike all the time and one of these times I pray it will help me.

Thank you again........Doreen

You're welcome, Doreen.

Your rheumatologist also plays a big part here. If he or she isn't

trying very hard to get you to remission or " no evidence of disease, "

it would be worth it to find a new one.
