Anyone had blotchy, itchy skin from PMR or from Kevzara?

Thank you for that information.
I'm at 3mg now (for only 2 days though, so far) and hoping I can stay symptom free. Perhaps now would be when I should be starting Kevzara...in conjunction with my taper-down of prednisone. I'm pretty sure my rheumatologist would be open to that. (This flare up of PMR has caused more side effects from prednisone...memory loss and irritably/anger being the worst of them. Hope these aren't side effects of Kevzara, also!)
Have you experienced side effects on Kevzara? If yes, what are they?
Thanks.

My dr wanted me on Kevzara sooner, and I resisted. Big mistake….what is your dr waiting for? Kevzara is suppose to help you get off of prednisone. Remember it is not instant relief,,it takes UPTO 3 months.
Check out the Kevzara website…..most useful.
As for me, no side effects, and I have no other health issues. 80yo female, no other drugs either. Super active
Good luck
