Hello and thank you for your question.
We do not know the cause of autoimmune disorders. In this disease the body's immune system attacks its own cells. It is possible to go into remission if your doctor puts you on medication to treat the autoimmune disorder. It is impossible to predict the future for you. It depends upon treatment and your body's response. I wish you the best.
