Diagnosed w/ sle 6yrs ago.controlled w/plaquenil & avoiding sun. for past 2 yrs, labs (other than ana) are currently normal. do i no longer have sle?

Good question: You may be in remission. I would ask your rheumatologist. The second question to ask is what is the risk if you go off your meds. What happened in your previous history is vital to assess risk.
