Especially tough to balance when I had a flare of uveitis almost as soon as I tapered off Prednisone the first time. My ophthalmologist put me back on 60 mg of Prednisone again. That was when Humira was tried because it was thought to be optimal for uveitis. Prednisone must have prevented flares of uveitis the entire time I took Prednisone daily for PMR. My last uveitis flare happened before PMR was diagnosed.

Humira didn't work so well for PMR. I got stuck on 15 mg of Prednisone when I tried to taper off after the uveitis flare. I was not on prednisone very long so after Actemra was restarted, it only took me a month to taper off Prednisone the second time.

More frequent Actemra injections prevented another uveitis flare.
