Have you stopped Actemra and been able to stay off prednisone? I have been on Actemra for more than 6 years with virtually no side effects. Whenever my Actemra infusions have been held for more than 6 weeks, my symptoms return along with increased inflammation markers. My rheumatologist sees no need and has no plan to discontinue Actemra.

Maybe I need to try again to see if Actemra can be stopped. My problem is that multiple different conditions could flare up again. I would have to convene a committee of multiple medical specialists to see if they could all agree with a plan to stop Actemra.
