@tweetypie13 Question for those on Kevzara. Who brought up the subject on taking it first, you or your doctor? Was it due to tapering issues or other health complications requiring you to get off prednisone? Just curious. Thanks.

@franklinlala My dr suggested ……to help taper off prednisone….
Note: he neglected to tell me that key point

@franklinlala My Rheumy brought it up first but only after I had an episode of diverticulitis while on Tyenne. The Tyenne was only put on the table after my GCA was Dx in Nov 2025. I had been struggling with PMR for 6+ years and was only offered prednisone.
This site has really picked up discussion of the biologics in the last year.
