I just started Acthar. I am trying to get off steroids. Having so many problems with my long term steroid use.

I cannot take any form of prednisone because it has thinned my bones so bad two years ago I broke both my hips 7 months apart ... Geez that was a NIGHTMARE

I used it for 2 months- April and May 2014. It didn't help so I asked my MD to switch me back to Prednisone. I heard Acthar costs the insurance company too much money. When I did my research, I just didn't feel right that it would cost that much, evenb though my copay is just $100/month.

Yes, Acthar replaces steroids.
