Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have had 12 weekly injections and slowly tapered tp 6mgs pred. Rhuematologist wants me to taper more rapidly but I am wary of flares. Your story gives me hope. Xx

I know the feeling about tapering too quickly. I was accustomed to fast tapers before PMR was diagnosed. I quickly found out that didn't work. Are you taking Actemra for GCA? I don't find too many people who get prescribed Actemra for PMR.
