What was your experience on Kevzara?

I was on the Kevzara injector pen and felt some improvement after only two injections (one every two weeks). I was excited about it but a large welt appeared on second injection. Then the third one was the day before an appointment so went ahead with it and before appointment another welt was developing-first welt was receding but still visible. My Rheumatologist discontinued the Kevzara.
We are trying to get Actemra or Tyenne. Speciality Pharmacies cannot get - Warehouse back orders. I have been without medication for 3 weeks. Some days, some symptoms heavier so am just waiting. But thinking Kevzara is certainly one to try.
I have been off Prednisone since February.

@abd
Keep us updated. I'm tapering down on prednisone due to an SMM diagnosis and will be going on kevzara once all the paperwork goes through. I can't go on prednisone again so I'm interested in the alternative to kevzara just in case...
