Anyone tried Kevzara for PMR?

I think Kevzara is worth a try after a year or two of Prednisone with relapsing PMR. I have never been on Kevzara but I have done weekly injections of Actemra. I currently do a monthly infusion of Actemra. Both Kevzara and Actemra are IL-6 receptor blockers so they work the same way.

I was on Prednisone for more than 12 years until I was able to taper off Prednisone within a year after Actemra was tried. Twelve years of Prednisone was way too long!
