I am 72 yo dx with PMR 1 1/2 years ago on Prednisone for treatment. It helped but threw me into diabetes! Since then wanted to get off Pred and went down 1mg per 2weeks. Finally off on March but symptoms so much worse. Tried 3 different prescription nsaids and not helping( but off diabetes meds!!) Anyone tried Kevzara? My family Doc told me to ask Rheumatologist about this med.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) Support Group.

Yes. I’ve been on Kevzara for 4 months and am off prednisone for my PMR. Besides some fatigue, no noticeable side effects. Seems WAY better than prednisone. GOOD LUCK!
