Recent diagnosis

I was recently diagnosed with Crohn's. I am 70 years old which is a little unusual for a new diagnosis. I have also started on Humira. I know there is no cure,only remission. But I am confused. What does a remission look like and what is considered a flair?

Welcome to the community. I'm sorry to hear of your diagnosis :(

As you say, being diagnosed at 70 isn't all that common. Out of curiosity, what were your symptoms and how were you diagnosed?
