I took prednisone daily for 12 years. I "acquired" other heath conditions that were treated with additional medications. Ten medications in addition to prednisone were the most medications prescribed to me.

After Actemra was initiated, I was off prednisone a year later. Being off prednisone has allowed me to discontinue other medications. I'm now taking Actemra with only two other prescribed medications.
