My rheumatologist was reluctant to keep me on the Kevzara but it was the lesser of two evils. Prednisone put me in the ER. I need to be off it and we all agreed. Rolled the die.

You’re doing good. That’s great. Wish I was that close to 1.

I am at 4mg.
40mg to 4mg in six months. Slower now, I’m shooting for 1mg decrease every three weeks.
By September, I hope to be at 1.
Off by November. One year.

@stonewheel well, I've been fighting this for 8 years now, from 60 to 0 back to 40 a couple times... I can't keep track of the swings. Finally on kevzara, 17 shots now... I'm determined to stay off of pred this time, even if I'm not at 100% relief. I say good luck to you ! Actually to all of us on this terrible journey.
