I have been on a mostly low dose of prednisone for 3 years. Lots of flare ups along the way. I am about to begin Kevzara. My doctor really wants me off of prednisone because of the side effects. I hope to report back here with good news! Pat m

Hello Pat!
It sounds like your doctor is keeping you at a low dose and this is not controlling your pain! With the addition of the Kevzara this should help you a lot with pain and get you off the prednisone at the same time!
Read the wealth of posts here to find ideas for pain relief— both conventional and alternative.
Good luck on your health journey!
