I also have GCA, and started on 60 mg prednisone. I also started to lose lots of hair about 8 months in. I am now at one year in, and down to 2 mg prednisone, I have also had monthly Actemra/Tyeene infusions since the beginning. My hair is beginning to come back now, and hair loss seems to have stopped. So…hang in there, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I really appreciate the positive feedback. I have not been able to see the light at the end of the tunnel and needed to hear this right about now. Continued success to you .
