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.

@pb50 That is interesting! My regular doctor diagnosed PMR and Pred helped tremendously at first. He referred me to a rheumatologist who said it is RA. And she put me on methotrexate. I guess you can have both? But am really confused about what I should be treating.
