I joined this group on 26Nov2010. @debhaz22 was the first person to respond. Since that time I have gone through lots and lots of ups and downs. Today, I had an appt with my rheumy and he said I have finally achieved drug-free remission and he doesn't need to see me until Sep 2019, as in 2019! Of course, I'm still on about 17 drugs for the other stuff I have, but I'm not taking any drugs for wegs. Hope it lasts. I'm feeling very well, buts it's taken 7 years to finally see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. I know I'll never catch the light, but just seeing it is fun.
