Thank you,
I have lower the KEVZARA gradually and have discontinued it 7 weeks ago. I keep a healthy diet , I move as much as possible each day ( Thai chi, walking, dancing and other exercises ) and I hope I will continue to feel well. ( I am 87 year old)
I do not know if this is the solution for other people but I want to share my experience in case it can help others.
I must say even though I did not follow my Rheumatologist’s recommendation to continue taking KEVZARA.. she was very supportive and happy with my recovery.

Thx for your info. FYI: I am 79 yo female, abt to be 80!
What was your tapper schedule, and why the taper?
I have read on this blog you go cold turkey when you stop Kevzara.
How, long were you pain free when you stopped Kevzara?

Question, how long were you on Kevzara total time?
I have read it is a year before stopping.
In put appreciated. Thx again.
