I’m glad you asked and hopefully we will hear good news from the others. I have been paused due to benign hepatic cysts and some new right side abdominal pain. Kevzara can apparently cause them to enlarge—which is dangerous. I hope my sonogram next week will let my endocrinologist know whether or not it is safe to return to Kevzara or if I will have to be taken off the drug. My rheumatologist tells me that if I can’t continue with it we can’t try Actemra either since it is likely to have the same effect. Don’t really have another option so I would would be a very disappointed.
