Who has GCA, Giant Cell Arteritis?

Hi. I take it once a week. Due to insurance, I had to switch to Tyenne last month. It’s basically the same thing as Actemra which is a biologic.

The PAD rehab program is similar to cardiac rehab (I don’t have heart issues) in that I get my vitals checked first, then I go on a treadmill and get monitored. When I reach that threshold of pain, I stop and get my vitals checked again. The purpose is to increase my walking time before I reach my pain threshold. I hope that helps.
Happy Sunday!
