The same thing applies to adrenal insufficiency from long term prednisone use. It wasn't the pain so much as the overwhelming fatigue. Anything remotely strenuous would completely wipe me out.

Kevzara won't suppress your adrenal function like prednisone does. It will still take some time for your adrenals to recover. The reason for a slow taper is more about adrenal function. Poor adrenal function and PMR flares felt basically the same. For me, it was the combination of PMR and adrenal suppression that explained why I could not taper off prednisone very quickly,

I was on Actemra but I assume Kevzara works basically the same way.
