Default just out of hospital with new meds

I was diagnosed with WG in May 2007 and have been treated with Cytoxan and Prednisone until 4 days ago when my Doc called to meet him at the hospital because my lungs were so inflamed. They treated me with 1000 mg of Prednisone for each of three days; a Rituximab infusion; and a Cytoxan infusion. I am now back home but my hands, feet, face are really swollen and sore. I am having strange mood swings as well. Hard to keep a positive attitude..... Can/does this disease go into remission? Is it ever possible that it can go into remission and not come back for a long time, if ever? Guess I just need some encouragement..........
