I'm not nearly in a remission, but I was wondering how to know if your in a real remission or it's just that your meds are working well for you. By a remission I mean no pain that you can go off your meds.
Hi Ms. Minny,
My neuro always used this “concept”… If you are pain free for at least 6 weeks on your med(s) then he would start a slow med reduction plan…
The first time this happened I had an 8 year remission …the 2nd time we tried the pain worsened after taking away one dose within 24/hrs. So we knew to add back the dose and maintained/managed my pain at that level.
So no pain but stayed on my meds.
Talk to your Neuro about this as a possible plan for you…

I was wondering the same thing. I’ve been pain free for 4 months now. I Was out on the deck on a very windy day and nothing happened. Everything seems to be back to normal. Just not my mind due to my meds. I’d love to get off of them if possible.
