kcurtiss, call your doctor tomorrow and let them know. You might ask for a 5 day prednisolone tapering pack. Yes, steroid, but I've read that the inflammatory response may be harder on your bones than the five day prednisolone. Your doctor or you yourself may want to wait for a week to see if the cytokine reaction ebbs on its own. I'm pretty sure I would not want to wait. Sometimes cytokine responses are self generating.
Some say exercise helps mitigate the pain but that's impossible it's too painful to move. Some few end up in hospital with IV steroid. Steriod is really the only thing to stop a recycling cytokine reaction. You might wake up Monday feeling better. Praying.

@gently I have heard, “ Time heals all wounds “. It’s been 19 months for me and things are either improving or I am learning to accept where things are. I’m told the infusion last about 18 months! I a doing better in a lot of ways but each day is a new start. I did and recommend reporting your side effects to the FDA! I feel this medication has to many long term side effect for a lot of people and should only be used as a last resort! A lot is also, mind over matter; try to stay positive and things will improve!
