i think you might just have to give the meds some more time. inflammation takes awhile to heal, it took me about six months to go from 1800 to 75 which is a normal calprotectin. its good to have that test done every few months so you know if there's improvement even if he doesn't feel it. it took me about 6 months till i could feel definite improvement from humira. im not sure how imuran is different from humira but with humira it has to build up in your blood to reach its full healing capacity. remission is different for everybody, for me its just being able to handle my disease without having to worry to much about what i eat and stuff. i dont think remission means symptom free but rather a stable feeling of being OK. out of 3 1/2 years of this disease the last year has been a stable feeling that i can deal with, which is great. that's my take on remission. i hope your son feels better and finds some relief, healing thoughts going your way - Ej
