The Kevzara should be trying to keep PMR in check thru the IL-6. But you are butting up against the cortisol restart. Probably the Methotrexate is just being thrown in as a backup to fight inflammation. This next part is not easy but sounds like your trying to make it. Getting off prednisone will help with so many other things. Maybe staying on the Kevzara is good thing if you have any flares.
