I have a lot rolled into this comment so bear with me.
I started at 50 mg 5 months ago and have gotten to 20 and it was/is difficult. Im beginning Kevzara and am tapering on 17.5 Prednisone.
My Rheum Dr is young and seems new to PMR so I’m struggling making sense of PMR, tapering and what is the “endgame”. I’m curious why you say tapering too fast is dangerous? Is it bad to “endure” the pain/symptoms to get through the level I’m at? I’m unsure what is too much or worthy of telling my Dr. What permanent issues can occur?
Im also having difficulty figuring out all the side effects of Prednisone and Kevzara. The weird body aches, sleep issues and moods are hard too. What do I tell my Dr?
Anyway any advice is appreciated
