Hi @bunnykfl, I've had PMR twice and was able to taper off of prednisone both times but I don't have any experience with Actemra. While you wait for others to respond, you might want to scan through the other discussions and comments by members when searching for "Actemra and prednisone +remission" - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=Actemra+and+prednisone+%2Bremission.

Do you mind sharing what current doses you are on and how long you have been dealing with PMR symptoms?

I have been dealing with PMR for about a year and I have been taking 5 mg prednisone for about 6 months. I am trying to get off the prednisone and am scheduled for Actemra soon.
