Hi @geniecm you may have noticed I moved your post to this existing discussion on Giant Cell Arteritis so that you can connect with others who have similar experiences.

I'd like to thank @johnbishop and @tinkerbell for sharing their thoughts on this topic. How long have you been on prednisone? What suggestions has your doctor been giving you?

I am on Prednisone since 8/19. .. down to 15 mg. from 50. Just yesterday I saw a doctor at Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC. She has prescribed Actemra and I've been approved. I will now change Rheumatologists.

My new rheumatologist at HSS in NY prescribed Actemra. Went for training lesson today and gave myself my first shot.
