Sadly. So many doctors don’t know or are not aware to look at these symptoms.. I would tell them I went from 48 to 90 and some mornings I was in such pain.. morning gs were awful.. day it would be better, but after sitting for a while it was painful and not easy.. thank god by coincidence my foot doctor gave me prednisone pack and first two pills helped

Thank you for this information. I live with PMR and this helps me to understand the disease. My Rheumatologist is putting me on Kevzara to get me off of a long term treatment with prednisone.

If you think prednisone side affects are bad make sure you read Kevzaras!🙏

I wish, sir you would educate the doctors out there, sadly so many people are not diagnosed and left to fend for themselves. Sadly, I had to get prednisone from Mexico on my trips. There are other countries in order to treat myself.
