I deffo am in Remission πππ

Hi everyone !
Hope everyone is keeping well
and not getting to stressed with the run up to Xmas π!!
Just wanted to pop in and give everyone an update .
So I went into remission March to September I caught covid and started to flare ! But by the time I got any contact with my rheumatologist in December everything had calmed down again !
So my new X-rays show small changes in thumb joints but that is osteoarthritis not the Psoriatic arthritis! No changes !!
And my ultra sounds show zero inflammation or fluids or anything!!!
Rheumatologist was very happy and Iβm happy ! Iβm not cured as such but itβs taking a nap if that makes sense and I am drug free !
He is doing a watch and see approach and giving me a more direct number of contact to be seen quicker if I start flaring again !
So there is hope I have also quit smoking and lost a stone in weight I donβt know if this has helped or the remission has enabled me to do it !
Hope u all have a merry Xmas π
