Hang in there . The Kevzara has been very good for me. My guess, It took me abt 2-3 months to have the Kevzara kick in. I was at 8mg prednisone when I started. Was able to taper to “o” by 4 months.
Remember, a PMR flare may not be the same as prednisone withdrawal.
Believeeeeee.

What were your symptoms of withdrawal? I am at the point of tapering Prednisone from 5mg( which gave me my life back) now to 2.5mg. Pain is noticeable, but the crushing fatigue and weakness is better. My Rheumatologist said most likely PMR was triggered by Covid. Cholesterol shot up quickly on steroid treatments. This is what my Rheumatologist wants to avoid: heart disease.
Did you notice help with pain and fatigue using Kezvara as efffectively as with Prednisone? Thanks!
