This is for @dadcue...... thank you for most interesting information. I am going to see 'my' (perhaps) rheumatologist on the 7th of June and wish to discuss alternatives to Prednisone. If it is not satisfying I shall stay with what i am doing alternatively. I do not want any more drugs with new surprising side effects. I take dandelion fresh and make tisanes, also ginger , Korean ginseng, nettle, and have acupuncture once a week. At least I feel a bit in charge where I was not before. I do not now trust my doctors as they only push Prednisone. I shall broach Actemra to them... I did try for years to reduce and at the last count I had it down to 3mg per day for about 2 years before the eye problem and yes the 60mg for that was shocking and demoralising plus it did not do what they wanted. So I was very happy when I got back to 2mg per day and I took 4 months to pluck up the courage to end my dependancy completely. I am still very happy I made that decision even though the pains are terrible. Thank you so much I really appreciate your information ....
