Yes, Kevzara is the drug. I checked on cost, around $3k/month. I have been on prednisone since September 2020 at varying dosages, currently at 8 mg. I am seeing a Rheumatologist. I went on methotrexate in November 2023, but have not experienced any good from it. About two weeks ago I started hydroxychloroquine, but my doctor still wants me to continue taking eight 2.5mg methotrexate weekly. I do not know why, as it does nothing and has lots of risks. Maybe it is time t see another doctor?
