I am new to PMR. I am on 9 mg of prednisone and Kevzara, which my dr hopes will help to get me off prednisone. I am pain free with this regime so far but of course am worried about side effects of the drugs, and also adjusting emotionally to having this change in my life -- I'm 85 and it is the first condition I've ever been diagnosed with, so I realize I'm very lucky.
