I need to read it because I'm taking a biologic that blocks the pro-inflammatory effects of IL-6. I was able to taper off prednisone after 12 years of PMR treatment with prednisone. So far I haven't been able to stop the biologic that is blocking the pro-inflammatory effects of the IL-6. I need to try something to help me lower my circulating levels of IL-6 so I can stop the biologic. If I can get off prednisone after 12 years, maybe I will be able to eventually stop the biologic without having a relapse.
