So Mike, yes I am off permanently. Saw the hematologist today and my white blood count is now back in the normal range. It was a great bridge coming off prednisone and I knew the possible side effects. I would do it again.
Regards, John

No relapse?? I had some unplanned "interruptions" of Actemra but I relapsed. My symptoms went away again after Actemra was restarted but I needed some Prednisone in the interim. I was able to quickly taper off Prednisone again after Actemra was restarted.

My current 7-week test is more of an interruption because I'm in Spain and soon will be going to Greece. I haven't been in these countries since my military days about 50 years ago.
