Betsy, I have never heard of someone going into true remission for the rest of their lives. That being said, I have heard of many cases of people going into remission for many, many years and having flares to a much lesser degree. Stay positive though, you never know you may be the one to go into remission for the rest of your life. The more aggressive approach you take towards your treatment, the better the chance you have. But keep in mind it's not just dependant on medications, it requires a whole lifestyles change. Many different factors play into remission such as medication, diet, and exercise. Like I said before, stay positive and be the one to prove it's possible. Good luck and best wishes!
