Better to be in some pain or better to up the dose of prednisone?

I have been on prednisone for over a year. I started on Kevzara in January The doctor told me if the pain returns to a level I can't take, then we go back on the prednisone. I'm going to try to stay off and see how I do with only the Kevzara....we will see

Great news off pred. Glad to hear Kevzara going well. We don’t have a lot of info on Kev from others. I started it April 1 (yes April Fools day)with pred at 8mg. Am successfully off pred now for 3 wks. (Self slow taper).
Yes, no more prednisone!
Last question, any idea how long you might be on Kevzara or when and how you will stop it?
Keep us posted on your progress. 🤞
