How Long Does Ulcerative Colitis Take To Get Cured?

I have Ulcerative Colitis. I have been taking Humira for the last 3 months. It has helped some in lowering fatigue, lessening lower tract discomfort, and increasing my appetite back to normal. I still have problems with urgency and frequency which have not seemed to have improved. I am wondering how long it may be before I am in total remission. Thanks.
