I confess I have done very little research on the whole subject, so I appreciate your insights!

No problem. I don't know too much about Kevzara. I will be looking forward to your insights into Kevzara.

I only know about Actemra but it isn't FDA approved for PMR. Actemra is approved for the treatment of GCA. I don't have much insight into GCA because I was never diagnosed with GCA ... only PMR.

I'm just happy my rheumatologist had insight when he said, "since Actemra works for GCA ... it should work for PMR too." I'm off prednisone now after 12 years of treatment with prednisone for PMR. I'm very happy with Actemra! I was lucky to get Actemra for PMR.

Now Kevzara is available for PMR but it wasn't 4 years ago when my rheumatologist wanted me to try Actemra.
