There is no cure for GCA, only remission with no guarantee that it won’t become active again. I received monthly infusions for 5 years until my lab #’s normalized. Before Actemra I was on Prednisone but suffered toxicity from the high dosage which produced Parkinson’s like symptoms. My savior was Actemra. I truly believe after reading these blogs over time that no one shares the same symptoms.

@maddboat02 Can you clarify which labs stabilized for you?
