Wellsbjt@ I am exactly where you are. On Kevzara and have tapered to 4mg. Prednisone. Going to alternate 3.5 and 4 mg. next week. Slight hip pain now. Let's keep in touch about our progress weekly. I'm a 75 yr. old female diagnosed in April. Thanks.

I’m right there too! I started Kevzara in February and I’m down to 2 mg and rheumatoid wants me off prednisone in the next week or two. Hip pain has just returned though not quite as bad as the pain in the beginning. I just had to put my dog Ive had for ten yrs down last week and I think the stress is messing with my cortisol needs. i’m also wondering about adrenal insufficiency added to this mix. Anybody have any experience with this?

Yes, let’s stay in touch. Good luck with your taper. I am still holding at 2 mg. Fatigue has improved but I have not been able to shake shoulder and forearm pain that appeared when I tried to reduce dose to 1.5 mg. Very disappointing. I celebrated the 1.5 mg dose thinking that I was almost off prednisone.
