Hi, jds; I am on Kevzara since October and will have my 6th shot on Tuesday. I was diagnosed in January 23. I am down to 2.5 of prednisone daily. I have had no reaction or side effects from the Kevzara and hope to be off prednisone entirely in the next couple of weeks. Sanofi and Regeneron developed Kevzara and you should see if you are eligible for help paying for Kevzara. I am retired military and so I have a reasonable co pay for a 2 month dosage. My experience has been very positive but us PMRers are all different.
Good luck and Happy New Year

I am about to start Kevzara too. I am so hopeful that it will work for me and that the side effects will be minimal. You say you have had a positive experience with the drug. Does that mean your PMR symptoms have resolved? What dosage of prednisone were you on when you started Kevzara?
Wilmington Delaware? If so I live so close.
