RA question about remission

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I mainly lurk and read, but have a question. I am 53 was diagnosed

with RA in 5/04, but have certainly had it for 2-3 years prior to

that. I am in the TEAR study through my Rheumy and my RA is somewhat

controlled but not great.

My question is has anyone had their RA go into remission and if for how

long? Does RA ever stay in remission? Have any of the women who had

it go into remission have this happen around menopause?

Thanks for any responses,
