I was diagnosed with PMR almost 2 years ago and have had to go up and down on prednisone and my skin just kept getting worse and worse. As soon as Kevzara came out in February my Rheumatologist suggested I try it. The cost is prohibitive but my husband spent weeks with the pharmacy and the manufacturer to get the cost down. It really took persistence. We will change our RX insurance at the beginning of the year.

The injection is very simple and I have had good results. I am now down to 5 mg of prednisone the lowest in 2 years. I no longer have the neck, shoulder and other pains I had. I still have morning stiffness and pain but I attribute that to my bad back which is a whole separate issue. I hope this was helpful. Good luck.
