I take monthly Actemra infusions. I didn't feel any relief for a couple of months. How long have you been at 12 mg.?

I started at the end of January on 20g of Prednisone and had gotten myself down to 8 mg by April going down 1 mg/week. The pain was just too bad. I bumped back to 10 mg of Prednisone mid July. Started Kevzara mid August. Also bumped again at this point to 12 mg mid August. The pain was really rough making walking, getting up, moving my arms etc very painful. I am sure u know the drill. Anyway, I have been on 12 mg since mid August, which is when I started Kevzara.
