How long have you been on Kevzara and what kind of tapering strategy did you use?

Kevzara takes up-to 60 days to take effect.
I was at 9mg prednisone, and tapered to “0” pred in 3.5 months.
The taper was not more than 10% at a time.
My taper was relatively easy compared to others I have read here.
If no pain after a week, give or take, I tapered,
sometimes alternated like 3mg day 1 then 2 day 2 then 3 day 3 then 2 day 4, if no pain that equals 2.5 total and took it accordingly.
As dose got lower and no discomfort, it was a quicker taper.
Now 6.5 months later still no problems.
My Kevzara shots have been at every 3 wks for the last 3 months and hoping Dr will let me 🛑🙏.
Good luck.
