Thanks for sharing. I'm so glad you finally got if Prednisone. I hope I'll get there one day🤞

Krueg, since you’re taking a biologic that has risks you might look into Kevzara which is also a biologic that has risks. The difference being that it is approved specifically for PMR. I stopped Kevzara when I developed some health issues, I can get by on 5 mg of Pred so I decided to just stay on that because I’m afraid of cancer risk of biologic’s.
