Starting year two. Thought I was closing in on remission. But flared at 8mg prednisone and the pain has returned. I’m basically starting over with a new medication.

oh I completely understand.... year 2 1/2 down to 3 mg...had relapse.. Doc put me back on 15.. it's been 3 days and i'm a little better... Compression around head and back of head... temple pain somewhat subsiding. Dr suggests the only other treatment is Actemra Infusion... Would give it a try if the drug info wasn't so frightening. any thoughts?
