My symptoms didn't develop right away, but I still think the shots had something to do with it. My pharmacist said I should get the shingles vaccine and the RSV vaccine now that I am taking methotrexate. I just read this morning not to get the RSV vaccine because they don't know enough about it. It sure is frustrating dealing with this painful disease.

I’ve already had the shingles vacs. No more vacs for me except the flu shot annually. Hoping to be off steroids by the end of the year.

I developed PMR as a result of the Shingrix vaccine - first dose. I will never take another ! I was incredibly healthy prior to receiving it. I was a health and wellness coach, fitness instructor and personal trainer. So - as you can imagine, I was quite healthy and fit. I was in agony after Shingrix and it continued to worsen. It ruined my life. I have been unable to work the past three years and unable to participate in any sports or activities I enjoy doing. 😫
