What was your experience on Kevzara?
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: 15 hours ago | Replies (179)Comment receiving replies
@pjsquared I had one dise of Kevzara and reduced Prednisone to 9Mg, diwn from 10mg. A week later, more pain - more in my tendons, shoulders , hips. Looking forward to Kevzara dose 2 and next prednisone decrease but wondering if I need to Increase P or if it is causing the pain.

@eparnold0219 Kevzara can take up to 3 months to take affect. Maybe don’t rush the prednisone taper.
@eparnold0219
My rheumatologist put me on 3mg LDN to help with my prednisone taper. I went from 25mg to 5mg in three months. I started kevzara last week.

@eparnold0219 I felt like I was ‘bouncing along’ the pain threshold (some pain, but greatly reduced) during my tapering. I did increase P once or twice before getting on Kevzara. During the transition from P to K, I also developed RA with very painful wrists and hands, but this mostly gone away, as I believe Kevzara treats both PMR & RA. One other thing that I believe has really helped is adding turmeric to my diet. Everyone,s journey is different…I hope yours becomes more successful in pain reduction.
