How does Kevzara help with PMR symptoms and pain? I am being weaned

I have an easier time getting an appointment with my rheumatologist than I do for my primary. I've looked into kevzara but I'm concerned with the side effects. I'm 73 so I'm already at a health disadvantage. I don't think splitting the dose would work for me. It's not like the pred is wearing off and causing the problem, it's more that the 25mg dose is not making me pain free. I'm not sure if everyone touting pred as a miracle drug for PMR is feeling pain free or less pain.

@kjoed53 Have hope, I was 78 when my journey began, am abt to be 80.
I had/have no other medical issues, 90% anti inflammatory diet for years, and had only 1 side effect, which came 7 months after starting the Kevzara…it was a known issue, drop in WBC….we then shifted my self administered shots to every 3 wks (instead of every 2) for 2 months and the blood work corrected .
Hope this helps.
