May 2025. Put on 4o mg Prednisone initially. Now down to 15 mg daily. At this does still able to work out daily. Only minimal Blood Pressure increase. Supposed to start Acterma infusions in August.
Trying to find out more about this drug and peoples experience with side effects from it.

You're really lucky to get down to 15 mg per day of prednisone so quickly. I think it took almost 6 months for me to get to that point after starting at 60.
I take weekly injections of Actemra instead of infusions. I haven't had any side effects, and it has allowed me to taper the prednisone down to 2 mg per day with no flares.
