Actemra worked for me. Now I need to find a way to discontinue Actemra.

I have a new lease on life. I'm trying to address the myriad of other problems I now have in the wake of long term Prednisone use and chronic inflammation. Realistically, I don't expect to cure everything. I just want to feel like I'm going in the right direction.

I know Prednisone was going in the wrong direction for me. Especially true when increasing my Prednisone dose was all I could do.

I’m on Infusion therapy with Actemra, once a month for three months and reducing Prednisone from 10mg to 5 to 2.5 after each session.
After my first Infusion, I had terrible nerve pain in my left hand/wrist ( which suffers from carpal tunnel). Did you have side effects from Actemra, and what are the benefits of Actemra?
