Hairobsessed123

Hi everybody!!

Not been in in a while !!

I had to come off medication 4 weeks ago due to a illness which required antibiotics

and because I felt so well I stayed off them no flares or swelling ect ect

so the rhumatology nurse rang me today and I’m in a medication holiday and see said I’m in remission !! I’m so happy it might not last long but I’m enjoying everyday as it comes ! I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t had to come off my meds

mid I start flaring I can ring and start medication again !

Just wanted to share some good news !!!

Oh this is incredible news @Hairobsessed123

Wouldn't it be lovely if it was forever?!

I am so pleased I feel like I've been around since the beginning of your journey with arthritis.

I hope this doesn't mean this will be the last we see of you though - you can still help other people😊

Big smile from me☺️

@Hairobsessed123 Hiya! I might be in a similar position… but keeping fingers crossed. Don’t want to jinx it! May I ask which antibiotics were you on?

I tried DM’ing but I think it’s not working.

Hey, good for you! I went into remission during my first pregnancy. It lasted until he was born and felt wonderful. Like walking on air. Enjoy every minute of it☺

Can I just ask - what does DM'ing mean?
