I have PMR and Smoldering Myeloma. My immune system has been raging for several weeks now. Several SM tests have elevated. As my Penn Med oncologist said this a.m., it's a chicken and egg situation as to causes. He talked with my rheumatologist this am. after I talked with him and they want to try Kevzara to reduce my Prednisone dependency. I'm currently on 7 mg, trying to reduce 1 mg monthly.

I started on Kevzara the first week of January and it has been a game changer. I have been able to taper the prednisone 1 mg per week after being stuck at 11 mg. And the muscle pain and fatigue are very manageable. I am now walking 30 - 40 minutes a day and taking a (mild) exercise class 3 times a weeks. I hope that Kevzara works as well for you. Good luck
