Hi Artron 9 here. I am at 10mg Prednisone in the second week. I will stay at this til I see the dr on April 24. I do get an occasional headache but Tylenol seems to get rid of it. I am taking Actemra weekly injection. I cannot say with confidence, if the Actemra is helping or is it the Prednisone? Thank you Jeff97 , DadCue and ropnrose for your contribution to my posts! They are all very helpful!!

I'm glad to hear you're doing ok. Probably the Actemra and the prednisone are both helping you. I'm still taking Actemra injections weekly and 5 mg prednisone daily. I've been feeling really good since I tapered to 5 mg prednisone.
