PMR and the taper

Ask Dr abt Kevzara…..game changer for me.
I was stuck at 8mg prednisone and was able to taper quickly.
After 7 doses of Kevzara (over 14 weeks) I’m down to 2.5 mg prednisone. I have been dropping 1/2 mg weekly lately. No side effects, or PMR flares. Hope to be off by August 1. 🤞
Note: my dr wanted me to go cold turkey after starting Kevzara, but I was not comfortable with that and have been doing the self administration.
Good luck
