Just wondered, are you not also on Actemra? Many on this list are able to eventually move off of prednisone due to monthly Actemra infusions (or weekly injunction). I have GCA, and am down from 60 mg prednisone to now 12.5, with monthly Actemra, reducing 2.5 each month, hopefully eventually down to 0 prednisone.

I have stage 3 kidney disease and actemra can have kidney related side effects.
