Hey there Davey...
I was dignosed in 2003 and am not in remission yet. That doesn't mean I feel like poo, it's quite the opposite. I feel fine, pretty much the same as I did prior to getting sick (well, as near as I can remember). I lead a normal life except that I take a few pills each morning and see the quack every few months for a checkup.
What I'm saying is that if you pin your hopes on 'remission', it could be a long wait. Work on feeling better and you'll get better results
Yes, many of us do go into remission and sometimes it comes back but having remission as a goal is counterproductive in my opinion. Take small steps towards feeling better and even just feeling happy and smiling and you'll make progress.
Feel free to post here if you need encouragement/advice or just want to vent. I hope you start feeling better soon
