Kevzara or Methotrexate

Posted by kass8174 @kass8174, Oct 17, 2025

Hi folks I have been on Kevzara since March and after 12 shots I started feeling better (not ever 100%) but better was short lived so Md suggested I try Methotrexate Sept 15 and I see no difference maybe worse. I read someone got a covid shot snd had a relapse. I just got both flu and covid shots two weeks apart. Wondering if it affected me??! I am able to get out of bed and get dressed so I guess I shouldn’t bellyache but I am 2years into this and tired of it!! Thanks for listening❤️

@jds2123 PS: the migratory arthritis did go away as I worked thru the “PMR journey”. At this point, months afterwards, still pain free.

@76ttop That is how it works on Medicare for me as well. Kevzara is covered; I have supplemental insurance; I have the out of pocket max, which for me is $2500. I got on a payment plan, which makes it do-able.
