Quick question. When you were tapering and went from 20 mg to 17.5 with issues, were you getting Actemra injections? My husband was down to 20 mg and last week his doctor wanted to go to 15. We pushed back and got her to agree to 17.5. He’s done this for a day and so far so good. She claims the Actemra helps reduce Prednisone more quickly. Fingers crossed.
