Prednisone to Kevzara back to Prednisone. ( Hope not )

I've been on Kevzara since mid-February with no side effects whatsoever. I was very reluctant to start because of the potential side effects. I started Kevzara when I was on 10 mg of Predisone and decreased my dosage 2.5 mg per month. I have been off of Predisone totally now for 5 weeks and have had no issues. No adrenal withdrawl or flairs from the PMR. I see my rheumatologist in three weeks and hope to be able to formulate a plan to slowy come off of the Kevzara as well.
For those who are wavering starting this medication I can only say it was a lifesaver for me. I know everyone is different and you have to follow your own instincts but I'm so glad that I finally tried it.

I am so glad that Kevzara worked for you. I know you were hesitant. I loved Kevzara but had to come off because my WBC went down, a known side effect. I now take a non steroid anti inflammatory called meloxacam with no problem. Be well

Thanks for your positive post. I am starting Kevzara tomorrow and am praying it works.
