PMR: Please suggest important first questions to ask rheumatologist

@buddysmum And I wish you well…..I am another one like others before you who has been totally frustrated with the “unknown” and exploration on our own. I was stuck at abt 8mg pred when I finally got on Kevzara. Big success, self tapered off Pred by 3 1/2 months when the Kev fully kicked in, and totally off Kev by 1yr. Good luck.

Are you now off Kevzara?
How long did you continue Kevzara after stopping Prednisone?
Lastly, did you taper off of Kevzara, or just stop after your last regular injection?
I was going to PM you but felt your reply would help others as well. I’m not trying to hijack this thread either as this might be a question to ask a rheumatologist; because I would ask how soon can I start taking Kevzara or a similar biologic, since Prednisone comes with so many bad side effects..
