Hi @hfoster, You mentioned being diagnosed with PMR in June 2022 which is not too long being on prednisone. Tapering down to 8 mg prednisone after only 5 or so months seems pretty fast depending on what dosage you started at. I started at 20 mg for both of my occurrences of PMR . First time took 3-1/2 years to taper off, the second time 1-1/2 years but I made some lifestyle changes to help with the inflammation, more exercise and improved diet.

@martiesowers and @lmoross have posted about Kevzara in another discussion and may have some experience or thoughts to share with you. Also, I found this recent study on the drug along with the link to the clinical trial:
