Kevzara and prednisone for almost a year-

Hello @fishnfever, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear you are struggling with PMR. I know from my two flare ups it can be really disabling. Prednisone always got me through the pain but was difficult tapering off. I don't have any experience with Kevzara but there are other members who have started discussions and shared their experience with Kevzara. Here's a link that lists the discussions and comments - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=Kevzara.
There is also another discussion you might find helpful for learning what others have shared about acupuncture and PMR.

Has your rheumatologist or doctor offered any suggestions to help taper off of the steroids or help with the pain?

Hi John,
Thank you so much for your reply! I will look at these links! My rheumatologist basically does televisits when I can get squeezed in. I'm about 1 1/2 hours away from the office. The medical system is terrible and she has no control over it. She has given me her cell number but I'm still not getting any info from her- I've done all of the research and just ask for the scripts to be filled. I would be willing to travel anywhere to find a dr. that is a specialist in this- I basically have no life anymore except at home....and that is cewrtainly not what I am used to.
