PMR, shoulder, arm injuries
I have been on
Actemra
for a year while tapering the prednisone down to 3m. I remember some of you posting of rotator cuff injuries. I think I have such an injury and will know more when I see the doctor on Monday. I feel like I am in a flare....or did the flare precipitate the injury?

GCA and tocilizumab withdrawal
Has anyone given up taking tocilizumab (
Actemra
) and remained in remission or did you get GCA back. Is there a program to reduce injections in stages?

butt pain
Since then I've also been diagnosed with GCA, started on 65 mgs of prednisone, and have tapered to 40, I'm also on the
Actemra
injection once a week. My question is at 40 mgs, the butt pain is back, and it HURTS! today I increased to 45 mgs and the pain is much better.......

Third Actemra Infusion
Could these little bit of symptoms just be due to my being at the end of my monthly
Actemra
infusions and ready for the next one? Is this normal?

Scoop on latest rheumi visit.
He showed me my CPR history on a graph, and seemed happy with the results of the
Actemra
injections. Too happy, maybe, and too confident in the efficacy of
Actemra
.

Body Pain
Also taking weekly
Actemra
injection without side effects. Prior to developing GCA/PMR I was a fibromyalgia patient since 1982. As bad as I thought fibromyalgia was it was truly a walk in the park compared to this disease. My spine, hip and back pain is unrelentless.

"9 out of 10 doctors on our payroll, recommend this product!" ~ Big Pharma : (
Bio-Thera Solutions, a global biotechnology company based in Guangzhou, China, recently announced that it has initiated a phase 1 clinical trial for BAT1806, a proposed tocilizumab (
Actemra
) biosimilar. Just what the world needs another Valsartan disaster!

Tapering and lab results - do the stars always align?
The only time I ever achieved normal inflammation markers was when I was on
Actemra
. They were 0 and I loved seeing that. Today all my other labs CBC, AST, ALT, and creatine are well within normal range.

Lots of awful pain.
I take 162 mgs
Actemra
a week. I’m thinking I need to get off the meat. I thought I could do Keto diet but I feel worse. I’m suffering so much but but I don’t want to die.

What other meds can I try?
I’m currently taking
Actemra
and Otrexup both by injection once a week and have been doing so for about 2 years now.

Actemra update
Tomorrow, I will give myself the 7th weekly shot of
actemra
. I had a blood test a week ago and it showed the liver was OK, my CRP was within the normal range for the first time in years. When I started the
Actemra
, I was on 10mgs of Prednisone.

Severe pain
I also take weekly methotrexate and
Actemra
injections which I don’t think is helping as well as it should but am afraid to start the process of a new medication from scratch again. I’ve already been through humira and enbrel as well neither of which worked for me.

GCA, Actemra and feeling exhausted
I have been so much better since taking Tocilizumab but I still get days of aching all over and feeling really exhausted. I am really not my old self and wonder if I ever will be . My husband and I are looking after an 11 month grandchild which means a 2 1/2 hr journey each way in the rush hour - leaving
