I have had lupus for a few years now. Of course there are many things I still don't understand. I am very curious about this remission thing...
so when you are considered in remission, is that just a statement based on blood work? Do you still have some symptoms? Are there days when you feel like you are flaring but your blood work doesn't show? And how long do flares last - can it be just for a few days? I know it's different for everyone, but it seems like once your doctor declares remission, you should be 'fine.'
And do the same things trouble you when you are not in a flare? sun sickness, stress, etc. ????
Sorry, it's all just so confusing.
