Anyone tried Kevzara for PMR?

Good luck! ( I heard 8-12 shots) I am on shot 8 and finally see some improvement!

I’m on shot 14. It enabled me to reduce Prednisone from 10mg to .5mg and dropping.

I am in kevzara since May 2025 not feeling much of a change they say it takes 8 shots or more to take affect I am on shot 6 hopefully it does work.

It will help try and be patient I am on shot 9 and tho not 100%, I am feeling better! Good luck!

My first was March 31st...I'm down to 1 mg prednisone and hurt all the time. However, I'm working in my 1 acre yard trying to keep the weeds down every day it doesn't rain or isn't too hot (and that's not many)! I can't see if this is going to work or not, but assume I have to stay off the prednisone after 12 1/2 years regardless! My fingers are crossed for all of us...🙂

I took Prednisone for 12 years too. I was able to get off prednisone. The full effects from Kevzara might take 3 months but it might take longer for your adrenals to recover.

I was able to taper down to 3 mg but then I needed to stay on that 3 mg dose for another 6 months until my cortisol level improved. Being able to stay on a low dose of Prednisone for an "extended period of time" will give your adrenals a chance to recover and produce some cortisol again. I had to resist the urge to increase my Prednisone dose. It wasn't easy but after my cortisol level improved and after I tapered off Prednisone, my quality of life improved.

Hang in there I am on dose 9 and tho not 100% I feel better!! Pred is a wonderful drug short term but as you know, long term side effects are bad!! Keep it up!!😀

I took Kevzara for 4 months and felt good very quickly. I tapered without pain from 12 mg prednisone to 7 mg. I had to quit to have several surgeries and I am still at 7 mg. I wish I could take it again. It is worth trying. Best of luck.
