So I went for appointment with my Consultant last week to be told I am in Remission... and had also had a bad bout of Flu so had to stop Methotrexate and Benepali Injections for 3 weeks.... Just had a call from my GP and my ESR Levels have gone up from 14 to 38 and my Platelet count is high...So much for Remission ......
The first time I stop meds everything goes pear shaped.... So I guess I am only in Remission when taking the drugs...Was so hoping to have a break from all the meds!

Same as me, chemically controlled remission..... absolutely fine when I take the drugs and complete rubbish if I try to reduce them. But, at least they work!
