@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.

I’m assuming our systems are adjusting to the lack of prednisone. I hope it’s not going to last forever. I’ll deal with it for a few months but I need to get back to my former self!
