Kevzara (sarilumab) to treat PMR

I agree with you. I suspect my PMR was triggered by a "mild" case of Covid. I also think statistics will show a large increase in PMR as a result of the Covid virus. Of course, I may not be around to see the results of these statistics!
Best of luck to you.

@sharonanng I was diagnosed in June of 2021 and it took 3 months to get my PMR diagnosis . I had so much blood work done, but no markers for PMR or RA, so my Rheumatologist started me on 15mg of Prednisone. It took 10 days to take the pain away, ive been on Prednisone since. She later told me, there had been a huge increase in PMR, since covid and the vaccine. She said there was speculation at the time, that there was a link. I was told to not get anymore Covid vaccines at that point. I’ve only had Covid once and it was 2.5 years after Covid began, so the vaccine could be the culprit.
