@jeff97 thank you… I’m assuming the same. Helpful to know how long to expect to feel somewhat normal.
I guess I was hoping it would be quicker as I was on prednisone just under 6 months. I have to patient with myself and not expect to come out of this circus without some pains and fatigue.

@caroljeand It's interesting that you mentioned the fatigue. I've been feeling a little tired for the last couple of months, and I stopped prednisone 6 months ago. I'm still taking Actemra, and you posted that you are still taking Kevzara. Both of those drugs work similarly, by blocking IL-6. I've read that fatigue is a common side effect for both Kevzara and Actemra. It's possible we are feeling that effect from those drugs.
