Hi Marc,
That's great news for you. I can deal with the site bruising but had second terrible headache this morning. 2 doses of sumitriptan helped. 3 calls to doctor's office and no reply. Call center said to continue with the second injection...might have to discontinue. I do get headaches but these were incapacitating.
Did it help your pain?
Thank you for your reply.

Karo,
So sorry to hear about your headaches, I haven't experienced those although I do get headaches. My only side effect is I'm very tired the day after my injection. I inject at night. I can only work a few hours remotely, the next day, then need to rest.
I started icing at the beginning, read this on another PMR site & never had any issues. I'm lucky, the hospital pharmacy that sends my Kevzara has pharmacists available to answer questions & my doc responds to messages.
Hoping you have better luck.
Marci
