How does your pain come back when decreasing dosage?

It took me 10 months. For about the first 6-7 months, I had some leg pain. I don't think it was 'PMR pain'. The pain stopped after 7 months. I have been able to eliminate the metformin that I was taking, since the Prednisone turned me into a diabetic for a year.

I was on Metformin after I got off prednisone but now I don’t take it anymore. The endocrinologist that treated me for prednisone induced metabolic syndrome said I should have taken Metformin while on prednisone to prevent insulin resistance.
My blood pressure didn’t fare well when I was on prednisone. I needed 3 blood pressure medications to control blood pressures in excess of 200/100. My blood pressure is back to normal and I’m got off all my blood pressure medications after prednisone was stopped.
I don’t have any side effects from Actemra.
