I agree! I can definitely see where 2+ years of Prednisone has taken a toll on me and I am ready to reclaim my life. We’ll just have to believe that we’ve made the best decision for ourselves and side effects will be few!

Hello Sandi,
I’m on hold at the moment because of other health issues I’m having but my doctor wants me on Actemra!
I have a long history of off/on prednisone use for a few health issues. Since getting PMR it has been difficult to taper.
My doctor is keeping me on 7.5 mg until I finally start my Actemra—he won’t increase even though I’m still having pain- so I just take my opioid pain reliever when needed, otherwise I take Tylenol ES, rapid release capsules.
Please keep us posted on how you are doing on the Actemra! I’m wishing you all good responses to this med!!
