I have cranial GCA and PMR. I take weekly Actemra injections, and I just finished prednisone after almost 14 months of treatment. I haven't had any pain or other symptoms since I started treatment. Have you considered Actemra?

I am on actemera, one shot a week,
Just finished a year of prednisone.
I’m having a lot of pain , shoulders especially, nearly impossible to sleep…also neck, upper arms, back and thighs.
It’s really wearing me down. Pain is one thing, no sleep is another and much more debilitating. I can barely function, force myself to get necessary chores done. I am SO tired.
