I was diagnosed about 5 yrs. ago with PMR/and possible GCA. I've taken prednisone for all of that time along with Actemra for a couple of years. I'm 84 yrs. old, and tired of this process. I'm now @8mg. pred, and having difficulty tapering any lower. I'm still very active but want to get off of these meds. Please offer suggestions. I eat healthy and exercise regularly except with pain prohibits the exercise.
