Anyone tried Actemra (Tocilizumab) to treat PMR? FDA approved for GCA

You are so fortunate. I went on Actemra and the drug side effects were so severe for me that I had to get off. Also tried Methotrexate- no go. And here I worried about giving myself the injection( piece of cake) and never the drug side effects!

Luckily I haven’t had any side effects except perhaps worse fatigue. Methotrexate made me throw up. At least Actemra has taken care of my PMR pain. I hope you can find something that helps. I know how frustrating it is.
