What exactly is a remission?
Is it when you feel generally "well" or is it merely when the symptoms of Crohn's become temporarily minor in relation to the severe discomfort during a "flare".
I am coming to the end of my first year and need to tell my GI if the Pentasa is working and frankly I don't know. It has certainly helped but I have never reached the stage of feeling truly well, so have I experienced remission or not.
Right now I am in a flare and I am tempted by preds but if I can function without them I'd prefer to stay off and keep that silver bullet for later.
Thanks, people.
