Has anyone tried Actemra for PMR or GCA? I see my Rheumy in a couple of weeks and will ask about it. I am in the USA. I have googled the studies...interesting to get off the prednisone, but not without risk either!

Pred on the other hand has been used for about 60 years - the major problems were with the high doses they used at first. In PMR the doses are relatively low and many of the side effects can be managed with lifestyle and dietary changes - which would be my choice before I tried tocilizumab.
