Hi hope,
Thank you for your reply.
I'm kind of laughing. My other rheumatologist that's cash only now, was insistent when tapering prednisone to go down 1mg per month! Can't tell you how many times I did that. Got to 4mg for many months, then stress, moving and knee
revision. The last two years have been depressing and extremely painful. I'm a squeaky wheel and deserve to be heard and helped.
The first Kevzara was massive headache, fever and chills but ok now. I will try one more in 2 weeks and see.
Good luck to you too!

I am not sure what a successful prednisone taper looks like. I tapered to zero from 20. However I am still having some minor pain and fatigue. But much better than before. Now realize from what I have read that it can take two years to stop pmr symptoms.
