@carina - From Tinkerbell - I tapered off of Prednisone for GCA last October. The Neurologist at Mayo told be to be very careful about taking any vaccines. I had the flu shot in November and since then have had pain on the right side of my face. No one knows what is wrong with me. I told my husband I would never take another vaccine.

Thanks for sharing, @tinkerbell. I'm sorry you are suffering from pain on the right side of your face; it must be terrifying. I am assuming it was a reaction to the shot tho, of course, I don't know that for a fact. What you said to your husband is exactly what I tell everybody.
