I contracted Polymyalgia and GCA early 2021. Prednisone until 11/21, plus Actemra since 03/21. I reduced Actemra to every 14 days for 2022 and now only every 21 days. All tests are good. Also on Travaprost.004 eye drops as Prdnisone can cause glaucoma. I now have arthritis in the shoulder and neck from an old bike injury. Has anyone else developed other types of arthritis and if so what meds have they used or changed too ?

Welcome @khmc, It sounds like your like your PMR and GCA are under control with only taking Actemra every 21 days but you have arthritis in the shoulder and neck from an injury. My PMR is in remission and I'm not currently on any medication for the PMR. I also have arthritis in the hands, knees and probably the shoulders along with degenerative arthritis in the back but I'm not on any pain meds.

Are the Travapost eye drops being used to treat an eye disease or ocular hypertension?
