Isn't tocilizumab/actemra an option for GCA that is sometimes used along with low dose prednisone for those with PMR too? It might be worth discussing with your doctor.

@kjoed53 yes. The doctor is working on getting me the actemra. Waiting on insurance. But I won’t be using prednisone with it. It’s a new Dr and the other Dr should not describe me rinvoq as it’s not for PMR. Wasted insurance money @ 5,700 for rinvoq that didn’t do anything except Made me feel worse with side effects.
