Update to ? Tocilizumab

I have now had 3 injections and my CRP is back to normal so have started to taper my prednisone down again. However I have been having sharp pains in my head, Rt temporal area, but also above and

Journey update: LVV/GCA, tocilizumab and exercise
I have been diagnosed with LVV/GCA beginning of February (though MRI/MRA and PET/CT were not fully conclusive). With the help of Tocilizumab I now arrived at 12.5 mg prednisolone per day. I know that this is a very fast taper but it worked well until now and from now on the steps will become much smaller

Covid vaccine & PMR
Having had my vaccine today, I asked the nurse if my antibodies would produce equally as well as someone who didn’t have autoimmune issues. She said probably not but the only way to find out that would be to have an antibody test after the 2nd vaccine. I have thyroid issues, hashimotos, and PMR, has

Waiting over 12 months for procedures, how can I escalate this?
Hi everyone. New to these boards although unfortunately not new to endo.

ADT and growth of breasts
I was not a victim of breast enlargement during my first injection of Lupron or while on Casodex but I do not know if it is any indication that my breasts won't grow once I start ADT again in a few weeks. Did any of you experience growing breasts while under ADT? If yes, did they go away after treatment

Tocilizumab extension
Hi I wrote a couple of weeks ago asking if anyone had been told that their tocilizumab was being extended. I’ve heard nothing from rheumatology or G.P but today I’ve had a txt from the company that deliver the injections to say they are delivering early March. Not sure if it’s the normal 8 weeks supply

Breast pain
I occasionally have breast pain after a double mastectomy, 8 chemo treatments and 30 radiation treatments. I am now on Ibrance and Femara. I also had 16 lymph nodes removed on the side which had the cancer. Is it common to experience breast pain and what causes it? Just had a PET scan with good results

Decreasing AMH levels leaving me very anxious
Hi Guys, So during my last IVF/ICSI cycle I was diagnosed with DOR (diminished ovarian reserve). I did a lot of research and found out people with this don't respond well to high stimulus protocol. I started taking DHEA in September and have just embarked on a new cycle with low level stimulus, so far

Gallbladder removal pros and cons
Drs are considering putting me up for gallbladder removal due to sludge and nothing being a direct cirrhosis diagnosis yet. My gallbladder has only ever detected sludge on all testing so in the last 6 months it hasn’t been up for discussion but I have constant dull or sharp upper right quadrant pain
