Prednisone to Kevzara back to Prednisone. ( Hope not )

What happened? I think I’m in the same spot now. I got off the prednisone totally 10 days ago went to the rhemy today and white blood cell count was low. He wants me to test in two weeks and if it’s still low, wants me to get off Kezar. Scared (that is not a strong word ) cause I don’t want to get on prednisone again!

@khof lets hope you wont need it. PMR can burn itself out. Mine was gone in 6 months. I know that is not the case with everyone. A WBC reaction to the biologics is not a side effect to some either. Kevzara is an immune blocker so the lowered WBC can be troublesome. You should be able to stop taking the Kevzara without the withdrawals so lets just hope the PMR does not return. Good luck.
