Thanks …. It just seems like there is no sure prescription for these diseases! All trial and error because none of us fit the book pattern!

your right. everyone is different. PMR seems to bring out any other diseases that the immune system might have been suppressing as well. Making it even more complicated. Even small things like an arthritic shoulder or joint. The only thing you can say for sure is if you have PMR or GCA corticosteroids seem to work on everyone. Unfortunately thats not necessarily a good thing.

Kevzara injections are specific to PMR and approved for PMR. Prednisone is the go to for your GCA issue. Mine relapsed a month ago and my specialist hit me with 60 milligrams for three days. Then she titrated down.
