There is an interesting thread in this forum https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/new-dx-of-pmr/ where @maye discusses getting off of prednisone completely in only 3 months by taking Actemra and tapering prednisone rapidly.

Hi , as Jeff says I have non temporal , but extensive GCA & PMR diagnosed with PET scan .
Started 50 mg oral pred and 162mg subcutaneous Actemera immediately. Taper off pred three months.
I’m 4months post diagnosis on Actemera as mono therapy
Im in remission according to pathology and symptoms (symptom free )
I feel fortunate to have such treatment success so far .
