People don"t recover from lupus, only from the symptoms of lupus; the condition remains, and will almost certainly become active again at some point. However, if it has been successfully repressed once with medication, it is likely that it will be able to be repressed again. Whilst some new symptoms may arise which require new kinds of treatment, a patient may well enjoy times when there are no symptoms or when the symptoms are very mild.
