I finished my last week of prednisone 10 days ago. So far no aches or pains. I am still on Actemra injection once a week.

How long did it take to stop Prednisone after Actemra was started?

What Prednisone dose were you on when Actemra was started?

There is still a "recovery period" after Prednisone is stopped but that seems to depend on how long you were on Prednisone.

I still haven't figured out when Actemra gets stopped but I trust my rheumatologist to let me know when it is time. I ask at every visit though.
