I too was started @60 mg prednisone. Then methotrexate was added and titrated down to 10 mg over 6 weeks. Started monthly IV Actrema. Rheum stopped methotrexate 2 weeks ago and lowered prednisone to 7.5 mg. Headache and jaw pain returned. Back to 15 mg prednisone which has helped. Not sure where going from here.

Hello @gailcha , please let me know what your rheumatologist decides to try next. Sounds like you are still at the trial and error stage also. Are you still doing the actemra IV along with the 15mg prednisone or just on 15mg prednisone right now?
