Anti-CCP Antibodies - Is true remission possible?

AC103

Hello guys, 29 year old new to RA here, struggling a bit.

I wanted to know if anyone with anti-CCP antibodies has been/is in remission, and I mean totally pain-free, normal life (except taking meds), normal activities, excercise, etc? I'd like to hear your stories if so. Appreciate any responses x

Hello @AC103, welcome to the forum.

Here is some more general info about RA that covers a lot of topics:

I did a forum search for the work remission and these were the results:

Hope there is something useful for you to read here.

Er, kind of. I've had RA for mosr of my life and been in remission oncè, during my first pregnancy. It was wonderful, until he was born. Never happened with second one. It's quite common with a first. Since tHen, I've had it under control but certainly not in remission.
