@pb50 Thanks for your comment. I will look into RA biologics and discuss with my doctor. Guess I hate to put anything else in my system. But if it would help it would be well worth it.

To my knowledge there aren’t biologics that are used for both RA and PMR. But I could be wrong.

I don't think all RA biologics work well for PMR.
Only Kevzara is FDA approved for PMR. Actemra is FDA approved for GCA but might work for PMR too. Both biologics were used for RA originally but I'm not sure how well they worked for RA. It seems they are trying to find other uses for both these biologics. They seem to work reasonably well for PMR/GCA and maybe not so well for RA.
