I was on 4mg/kg of Actemra for 2 months but then had to go up to 8mg/kg. I was having too many days with breakthrough pain as the time got closer for the next monthly dose. At the higher dose, I only get a couple of days with breakthrough pain. But I can push through and have it timed so that my not-so-good days are during the weekend.

I hope the best for you!

I know about the extras.
I should have stock with CVS pharmacy alone.
Please let me know how you do with the Actemra. I have my first dose on 12/07/2012. For three days, I had more energy and less pain. Then it all came back. I am told I received a half of the normal dose I will receive next month. I do hope it helps you a great deal. I am going to keep a log to watch for improvement if any
Wishing you a Happy Holiday and Merry Christmas!
