I don't have any allergies ... thank God for that because I have more than enough to worry about. I'm also glad I no longer have to decide how much Prednisone to take every day.

My rheumatologist decides my Actemra dose and the infusion center gives me a choice within a week or two either way for when I take it. I have done 3 weeks between infusions but not more than 7 weeks but usually every 4 weeks.

The infusion center nurse says my rheumatologist wants me to have 50 mg of Benadryl and 650 mg of Tylenol a half hour before every infusion to decrease the chance for a reaction so I take that too. 👍
