lab frequency in remission

[Alias]

I have "graduated" from getting labs monthly for a year or so, then every two months, and as of my eval today I'm told I can have them every three months and have checkups with my doc every six months as long as I am stable and feeling well. Just curious about what others, especially those in drug remission, are doing as far as lab frequency. (By the way my routine labs are CBC, CMP, ESR and CRP.)

Mine have been every 3 months for several years, with a doctor appointment following a couple days later. This last time I was in he changed it to 3 1/2 months! Progress!

I'm still doing labs monthly. Since my labs have been pretty stable for two years plus, I'm going to ask my wegs doc about doing them quarterly.

I have my blood done every month, fbc,pr3,crp,esr. My pr3 goes up and down between 6 and 13, that's why I have my blood done monthly, I have been in medical remission for over 2 years, all my labs have been good except my pr3, a blood test every month to me is peace of mind.

Mine are done every three months, with a GP follow up a couple of days later.
Rheumy appointments are now every 8 to 9 months and ENT appointments are every 8 months, so basically I see either ENT or Rheumy every 4 months.
Ophthalmologist is every 12 months.

Has been this way for a couple of years now, but I do have a script for in between months if I ever need it - thankfully (touch wood) I haven't yet

My labs are done on a 3 month interval after my appointment with the doctor. We do them the same day since it's a 4 hour drive each way. I have been off prednisone and had my last rituximab infusion in 4/15
