Continuation of previous message. 🙃it took a month to get approved and to arrive and in the interim I went back up to 15mg. to get rid of the pain. After three weeks on Kevzara I was able to rapidly drop to 1 mg. Unfortunately so did my neutrophils, so I may need to stop the Kevzara.

@tonimcbride Lower WBC, CRP and nuetrophils counts are ususal when taking Kevzara I found. I have been taking Kevzara for 3 years with minimal side effects even though the above counts are lower. My biggest issue is with cuts and scrapes where I use an antibiotic ointment to make sure thes do not get out of hand.

@tonimcbride Kevzara and my numbers went down too. My dr. had me space the shots 3 weeks apart and retested…..that worked for my numbers. Note: I had already tapered off prednisone for abt 6 months.
