I have not had any side effects at all. Also, I have been in remission since August of last year.

Are you off Prednisone? If you are -- how long did it take to taper off prednisone? Any issues with your adrenals? I'm thinking of switching from Actemra to Rinvog just because it is a daily pill instead of a monthly infusion. I'm used to doing a monthly infusion of Actemra though. I guess some people get used to Prednisone too.
It was fantastic when I took my last dose of prednisone when some people said I should take it for the rest of my life if I needed to. Fortunately, my adrenals didn't totally shut down and they recovered with time. I didn't need to take Prednisone for the rest of my life.
