Does Kevzara put PMR in to remission?

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

Hello again Marc,

I will try that. I have found the pharmacists are wonderful too. The methotrexate gave me a headache too but nothing like the Kevsara, also the malaise. It took about 2 days to feel well again. Did I mention a fever of 99.8 about an hour after Kevsara injection. Doctor finally returned my call and said do the next injection with antihistamine and thinks the same side effects might not happen again. You are indeed lucky your doctor replies to you. I now have a portal to communicate so shall see how that goes.
Sorry for your work disruption. I retired years ago so thankfully that’s one less thing to worry about. All set for the golden years! Haha. Anyway, best to you.
Karo
