Anybody achieve full remission within one year?

@cazwell50 very similar to my experience after GCA / PMR diagnosis. (Pred and Actemera treatment)
Although not the case for everyone, it’s great to know full recovery is possible.
With the advent of biologics I expect many more people will have an easier time of treatment to remission requiring less damaging steroids and a better quality of life with less pain .
Here’s hoping.

@maye33 I have never heard of biological but if it means nine or less prednisone then that would be great. It gave me osteoporosis in my hips so I now take bone building medication and have hit the gym on top of Pilates and swimming daily. Always been a fit person so osteoporosis was not expected. It’s a nasty drug but gives such relief.

@maye33 I just hope they dont rule out prednisone. I am totally against using it but it fixed my PMR within hours. I had already been struggling 3 months. If they start using Actemra and it takes 3 more months to start working. Yikes.
