I have had Polymyalgia and GCA since Dec 2020.Started Actemra 03/21 ended Prednisone 11/21.I have also had multiple surgeries neck fusion 01/21 and complete right shoulder replacement 01/24. I am now down to one dose of Actemra every 29 days. I am free of pain and feel much better with the lower dose.
