I heard the same devil comment about Actemra on another forum. I was almost dissuaded from trying Actemra. The only people who said the Prednisone devil I knew was better than the Actemra devil I didn't know had absolutely no personal experience with taking any biologic.

My rheumatologist said I wouldn't know if the Actemra devil was any better than Prednisone unless I tried Actemra to see how it worked. I'm glad I listened to my rheumatologist. Actemra wasn't a devil at all. The only devil was Prednisone based on my personal experience.

Biologics can be a devil for some people ... just like Prednisone. Most people don't report too many problems which doesn't seem true for Prednisone. I have been on Actemra for more than 4 years without any serious problems. My only serious problems were during my 12 years of taking prednisone. Your experience may vary but you won't know unless you try Kevzara.
