Kevzara (sarilumab) to treat PMR
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Feb 10 7:53am | Replies (187)Comment receiving replies
I was diagnosed with PMR at age 50. I woke up one day and suddenly could not lift my arms and could not walk up stairs without gripping the rail and pulling myself.
The good news: My PMR was treated with prednisone. I took it for two years and then weaned myself off it. PMR has never returned. I am now 75.

That is exactly what I’m hoping for 🙂. First time it stayed away for 6 years and I am a little over 6 years since I weaned off prednisone for the second time. At age 80 I am trying to do everything I can to keep the PMR in remission.
