@eparnold0219 Kevzara can take up to 3 months to take affect. Maybe don’t rush the prednisone taper.

@tweetypie13 I have taken the Kevzara shot every two weeks since January, while tapering down on prednisone.
So far, the shot has helped me taper with no side effects.
My rheumatologist lowered my Prednisone from 7 1/2 mg to 5 mg. last week. In one month I go down to 2 1/2 mg. of prednisone. I am beginning to sleep much better. I have gained 25 pounds since last October. I am praying I start losing some of the extra weight.
