Kevzara experiences?

Posted by margedoc @margedoc, 18 hours ago

I have been on a combination of prednisone and methotrexate for PMR and because of relapses when I get to 5 mg. of prednisone plus methotrexate side effects (fatigue, hair loss), I am being started on Kevzara with the goal of tapering off the other drugs. I'd be interested in others' experiences with Kevzara.

Look for my previous posts. 79 yo woman, PMR diagnosed April 2024.
I was stuck at 8 mg prednisone.
Love Kevzara……28 wks into it. No side effects. 11 wks off prednisone. Overdue the adrenal suppression, back to most activities and sports. Walk golf, bike hike etc.
I do occasionally take Tylenol for Arthritis as an OTC back up with the humid weather, or excessive exercise. 2 at bfast.
Good luck
