Anyone had blotchy, itchy skin from PMR or from Kevzara?
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Sep 1 8:34am | Replies (26)Comment receiving replies
I was prescribed Kevzara about two weeks after starting prednisone, due to extreme side-effects from the pred. But here we are some nine weeks later and I still do not have the drug! Seems the 'specialty pharmacies' keep passing my script around and no one delivers! Has anyone else had this problem or know how to solve it?

@sbgigi my dr ordered for me. My problem was (supposedly) I had to much insurance! What a joke! After talking to billing about how to FILE my insurance- the pharmacy came back and said because I had 3 insurances I would have to pay the copay‼️”OK”I should not have to but what is the copay ( so I could get started on the medication) (had been a month of screwing around). The lady calmly stated $1100.00🤯‼️I then said well I guess I am not getting that medicine. (Yes, I was furious)I said I have 3 insurances and I have to pay!! Well nope. I’ll let my dr know. Well they called me back and said they had made a mistake!! I didn’t have to pay anything. I just received my injection pens yesterday. Along with tons of paperwork! I’m going to start Monday. I did have to go with a company the insurance company stated, but I’m not paying.
Maybe check with your insurance company and see if they prefer you use a certain company. That might help.
Insurance is such a racket
Good luck

@sbgigi I had the same problem. I asked my doctors office to send it to my local pharmacy and they were able to get it to me within a week. As soon as the local pharmacy called me amazingly the Specialty pharmacy called me to say they were ready to send the medication. I told him too late. I was sticking with my local pharmacy. Good luck!
