Hi Stacy,
This one always confuses me too! My dermy used the term 'remission' to me at my last visit in September because my joint and muscle pain had gone plus all my bloods were perfect.
She spoke about 'medicated remission' due the fact I was on Plaq. My hubby and I are both wary of using the term and tend to say that my lupus isn't currently active - although that has changed a bit in the last week
I agree that remission is usually due to some kind of treatment/medication.
Hope this helps.
