Kevzara and Prednisone Tapering before and during Kevzara

Just did my 4th injection of Kevzara with no ill effects. Currently on 5mg of Prednisone and will be for another two weeks which will be a total of 30 days since tapering from 7.5. I'm curious what others have experienced on Kevzara while tapering. What was the rate of taper for you on Kevzara? How long were you on it? Did you taper off completely and then continue the injections for a while. I have followed many of the posts who have tried Kevzara which have been helpful, but I was wondering if there are any additional folks that might be willing to share.

I am finally off of Prednisone after 2 years! I still have manageable pain -probably aches and pains from older age (63). I have been on Kevzara since October. Went to RA last week, will begin taper off Kevzara in 6 months. She states there is no known good exit strategy as the drug is fairly new. She will be attending conference in May and will be learning more about this. Slow and steady most likely-just like everything else. My weight is also slowly decreasing….due to Prednisone no longer being needed.
