Hang in there, PMR can be difficult but treatment with Kevzara has been very helpful for me after dealing with Prednisone since last Fall. I'm now waking up in the morning with very little pain after only three doses of Kevzara. I feel very lucky.

I just had my telephone consult with my "specialty pharmacist". She asked if I had any questions, and we got everything handled.
These past 3 days have been extremely pleasant for me. I basically had no pain throughout the day, but I am still not pre-PMR. Today was my first day of Physical Therapy and ROM exercises at home.
I'll start my taper down when the injection gets in to my pharmacy. I'm on 20mg prednisone still, and I'm about to chain up my refrigerator. I'll see how I feel in the morning!
Thank you everyone, and I appreciate your time.
I have moved up to acceptance stage!

How long do you have to take it ? How do you know when you can stop?

After only three injections is exceptional.
