In July 2024, I was diagnosed with PMR and suspected GCA. I had bilateral temporal biopisies done, but they were negative. The report stated that, that didn't necessarily mean I didn't have GCA. I had all the symptoms (except vision issues). I was started on 60 mg. pred. at that time. When my taper got me to 8 mg. in December, I had a flare. My PMR and GCA symptoms returned. That's when I told my rheumatologist that I wanted to try Actemra infusions. She agreed with me.
