Reducing predisone side effects

@kjoed53 She told me I'd take a shot every 2 weeks while still on some dose of prednisone..Not really sure how this whole regimen is going to play out yet...you're thinking maybe 1 shot every 3 weeks, for example? Since I'll be taking prednisone too. I'm sorry you're still in pain. Are your markers high?

My markers are still high but not nearly as high as when I started. I'm not saying to start at 3 weeks, but yes instead of just stopping altogether. It takes a while for the kevzara to take full effect, but after you have tapered off prednisone, I've heard you can try stretching out the shots to three weeks, and if that works then four weeks to avoid a flare before you quit taking it.
