@dadcue none of them have a real answer, it's a guessing game. Try it and see if it works. I was down to 0 several times es over 8 years, but always reverted. I've been off for 2 months now and hoping that I never go back. 80% with kevzara will have to do, unless I complain, then she was talking about rinvoq, nit to sure I want to try that one.

@ronludington that’s me too with Kevzara. I’m at about 80%, and I’m not off Prednisone. I never know how I’m going to feel when I wake up. I do power through it though on painy days.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that I don’t know if Kevzara only, will be enough. I’ll stop the .5mg prednisone in another week or two. Then, I’ll know.
My rheumatologist wanted to pull me off Kevzara (due to low platelet count and anc) and start Methotrexate (along with prednisone), but I dug my heels in and told her “No.”
And, my bloodwork magically rebounded back to normal range.
