For Rheumatoid Arthritis "Been on this RA medicine for 3 weeks, and it seems to help with my RA. Like other patients have reported, I started to get painful mouth ulcers (canker sores) under my tongue and inside my lips. Also getting flaky skin around my nose. I heard taking 1 mg tablet or more of the folic acid can reduce this side effect of this medicine. I will consult my doctor to see if this will help."

For Polymyalgia Rheumatica "Diagnosed with PMR at age 65. Was on prednisone for a year without being able to wean below 22 mg. Rheum tried Kevzara, and after about 3 doses (6 weeks), started being able to move without stiffness. Now weaned down to 7 mg daily and still weaning. Turning 67 tomorrow. Bruising at the site of injection is the only side effect to date."

For Rheumatoid Arthritis "I just stopped taking Kevzara last week, as the last 2 injections malfunctioned and the plunger did not move, so I couldn't get the medicine out. I did get some relief at first, but not as much as I had in the past with Enbrel (morning), but it stopped working about 2 years ago, and I've been looking for one that works like Enbrel. I didn't get enough relief from the Kevzara to have to worry if it's going to malfunction again."
