Hi harelover; so the Kevzara was over 12 weeks starting in October. My 7th injection will be next Tuesday, Jan 16. I am very fortunate that as a retired military I have a very manageable co pay for a 2 month supply(4 injector pens) that is delivered by FedX in a cold pack overnight. IO don't know what the next step is at this time. I think it depends on whether there is any negative reaction to no more prednisone. If Kevzara ends up being a maintenance drug over time, so be it. My doc has really been on top of the whole situation since I was diagnosed. He is my PCP and not a rheumatologist. So good luck and stay in touch.

Got it! Good luck with being Predisone- free. I hope that others with experience with Kevzara will post here as well since it’s so new for PMR treatment. Keep us informed.
