I agree with Dadcue. Its great that Kevzara works. I think it should be tried as soon as possible in the PMR journey. The idea being it keeps the PMR controlled while trying to taper off steroids. However it does nothing for the cortisol insufficiency created by the prednisone taper. The pain from adrenal insufficiency is almost identical to PMR pain. From my personal experience even being on low dose has eventual side effects. 5mg is about your taper wall. To reduce below that is going to cause some discomfort but I think its worth it to be off the prednisone. Go real slow in your taper. It can take several months after stopping prednisone but life will get better. Keep exercising.
