How does Kevzara help with PMR symptoms and pain? I am being weaned
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (64)Comment receiving replies
I was diagnosed with PMR 12 months ago. My doctor started me on prednisone 20 mg. I finally got an appointment with the rheumatologist and she is weaning me off the prednisone. I am currently taking 15 mg and starting tomorrow I’ll go to 12.5 mg. I was approved for Kevzara And it is currently in the pharmaceutical pipeline, Plus, I need my rheumatologist permission and instructions prior to starting it. I must say weaning me off the prednisone my current 15 mg my PMR is extremely bad. I am walking with a cane. I have a lot of pain and I can’t wait to try something new.

15mg prednisone didn't work for me. I was also using a cane and feeling the pain every time I moved. I'm on 25mg now and I'm noticing a declining effect after 4 days. It's manageable for now but I don't want to be in pain every day if there's another option. My rheumatologist seems to think that everyone with PMR will respond positively to prednisone, and if they don't then they don't have PMR.
