Yes, Mike, I am off prednisone. I began taking it in April of last year when I was diagnosed with GCA. Started taking Rinvoq in June as I began my prednisone taper. Took my last mg of prednisone on or about January 6 of this year. Would not want to return to that.

Wow! ... I love to read stories like yours. I had a similar response with Actemra but it still took me close to 2 years to get completely off Prednisone. My problem with stopping Prednisone was mostly caused by being on Prednisone for a long time -- 12 years.
I hope Rinvoq continues to work well for you!
