Yesterday I was looking for input on my situation. I’m doing much better today. I raised my prednisone 5 mgs and I’m not suffering today. I did wake up very sore but so far no headache and pain has eased up. Definitely was in a flare because of coming off the Actemra. The doc should have told me to go up a little on prednisone when off the Actemra. She really should not have taken me off Actemra.
