Has anyone with PMR using prednisone tried KEVZARA with any positive or negative results?

I have been up and down from 8- 15 mgs of prednisone for about one and a half years for PMR and have now had 5 doses of Kevzara and have been able to taper down so far to 5 mgs. Overall, I do feel better with less pain. It is not perfect but a definite improvement so far. I have a great rheumatologist who has really worked with me on this.

I have been on prednisone for 18+ month, with several unsuccessful attempts at weaning completely off. I am on 3-4mg daily, have had 5 doses of Kevzara at this date, but so far not seeing any benefit. I am experiencing more pain again and returning to 5mg pred.
