My PMR began in January of 2022. In April of 2024 I was trying to taper off Prednisone for the second time when the PMR symptoms returned. My Rheumatologist suggested I try Kevzara. It took some time for insurance company approval but I now have taken 7 dosages (200 mg/1.14 ml every two weeks). I'm down to 3 mg of Prednisone and feel the best I have since the PMR started. During the previous two tapers the symptoms would return when I reached a Prednisone dosage of between 5 - 7 mg. I have had no side effects from the Kevzara. I had an appointment with the Rheumatologist this past week and he said all signs of the inflammation are gone. He expects I will need to remain on the Kevara for 12-18 months. My Sed rate and CRP which had reached highs of 80 and 6 are now less than one and 0.03 respectively. Kevara has worked great for me so far.
