Thank you for sharing your journey.
You have said all that I have been going thru on my journey.
New people to PMR need to read this and know they too, are not alone.

My one question to you, have any of your drs. Recommended a biologic like Kevzara? My Rehum just wanted me off prednisone, all but screamed at me. At no point did he say “it will help you get off prednisone “. That’s what I needed to hear since he knew I won’t even take an aspirin for a headache. After we crossed that bridge my progress had been GREAT.
Good luck

I have not yet taken Kevzara, although I asked. The doc's answer was stay the course and tolerate small aches for a few days to a week and then discuss. I agree with you, get me off Prednisone as fast AND permanently. Next week I will follow up on Kevzara, if needed. Tx.
