I saw my rheumy at JHU today and got some great news. He said I'm staying really stable on the Cellcept dose I've been at for about 1.5 years (no pred), and all things considered, I'm in pretty good health. He said he expects me to be able to build up and get stronger from this point-- great to hear, since I haven't budged for a long time.

He didn't use the word "remission," and I didn't ask. I still have a lot of symptoms, they just don't seem to be amounting to anything. So, I'm going to start physical therapy and get stronger and eventually get back to work (it's been almost 3 yrs).

This is the first time in a long time I've felt hope. I told him how much your support helps me, and he was very encouraging about what we all can do for each other. Thanks, everyone.
