@cwbf good luck with the Kevzara end date!
How long on a Kevzara and what intervals for injection?

I too was hoping for December…..however
Interestingly, my Rehumy just told me that 12 weeks at 3 week injection intervals is NOT enough time to chg to 4 week intervals.
“There’s a risk if a flare over 50% of the time.”

Thank you. Every two weeks for a year, ending in December. For what it's worth, the board certified rheumatologist at Vanderbilt said tapering was not necessary and that "most" patients do not have recurrences. We'll see.
