A year ago when diagnosed I was on 40 mg pred. Then dropped to 20 and now tapered to 5 mg. My dermatologist told me she didn’t think the hair loss was from pred but rather from the stress PMR puts on the body. She gave it a big long name. Now that I am at 5 mg I think my hair is coming back. 🤞starting Kevzara Friday. Finally gave up on the taper. Too much pain for too long. Lord have mercy on all of us! 🙏😊🌸

I have great success with Kevzara. Takes up to 3 months to kick in….
I am at 46 weeks, and hope next week they stop,it.
Good luck.
Note:my mistake was not starting it sooner. It was not explained to me that it was a drug to help me get off prednisone. (I thought it was “another” drug and rebelled)
