You are doing great in your taper. I have been on actemra since mid October for my first infusion. I have had a total of 7 so far. I too started at 60mg when my omr morphed into gca in September. I was down to 10mg but had to go back up to 12.4mg and i might have to increase it. I'm not sure if the infusions are working as it should but it has elevated my cholesterol to very high so m thinking of stopping. M talking to my dr on Friday about this. I wonder if there is a difference between getting it by infusion or self injections. Hope you continue feeling better🤞

I will start a Acterma transfusion this week. What were your reactions? What was dosage. Yikes you have had 7. How many will it take? Side effects?
