"Patience young Jedi! It took me 12 months and I have been off for about a month and yes I feel much better now that I am off the prednisone."

I love this approach and congrats for getting off Prednisone. Your outcome is commendable. I must confess my patience was wearing thin after 12 years on Prednisone. I only wish the radical new approach to treating PMR that my rheumatologist wanted me to try was available sooner.

By radical new approach do you mena the Actemra? I know nothing about. I was offered Kev injections but declined, worried about bowel obstructions. How long has Actemra been on the market? Side effects?
