I have had PMR for 10 years. On and off prednisone during those 10 years. Now on 5mg prednisone and Kevzara. Have been on Kevzara 6 months. I don't feel the Kevzara is helping as I am experiencing a great deal of pain and stiffness in large muscles and arms. I had more relief when I was on 10mg prednisone. In the last month I have developed a nagging cough that can get so bad that I feel like I am gaging. I also have developed a runny nose. When reading the potential side effect of Kevzara, these are on the list. Note I have not been sick with a cold or any respiratory virus. Anyone else experience this?

Hi again,
Sounds like an allergic reaction, but I’m not a doctor. Is it worth it to be gagging? These meds are a crap shoot.
There doesn’t seem to be rule as to what works. I’m so sorry. I feel sometimes, since it affects an older age group, there doesn’t seem to be major research going on, just one new med after another with more side effects. Good luck! Keep in touch.

Sorry to hear that you have struggled with PMR for 10 years. That seems like a long time. Have you had a chance to discuss your recent symptoms with your rheumatologist or doctor?
