Could your PMR have been a result of the Covid mRNA vaccine?

The Covid vaccine has always made me poorly for at least a week every time so I will do everything I can to make sure I give my immune system a boost. In the past I have had real flu twice, Pneumonia twice and Pleurisy once. Since having flu jab not even a sniffle every year. I will have the flu jab at the same time as the Covid one. A few spare Pred ready in case I need them. Apart from PMR I am a fit and healthy woman but I know if I don’t have the boosters I could be in trouble

@tiateacake I know you have a plan to get both vaccinations at the same time. However, since you also know the Covid booster is hard on your system, you might want to space them a couple of weeks apart. I too was a fit and healthy woman prior to my PMR. In the reality PMR is in our system now and here to stay. It can rear it's head at any time. From what I understand when it is remission it is simply looking for an opportunity to recur.

I totally agree with you in regards to getting all your yearly vaccines to protect your health. In general, this works for me, especially because I have asthma.
I have mixed feelings about the Covid vaccine since it was generally an untested vaccine and we were all the lab rats!!
I had the j & j vaccine initially, there was no booster available- I had the pzier mRNA booster once and that was it! Despite numerous exposures to loved ones who tested positive, I never have tested positive to Covid! So I’m thinking this was all the protection I needed?! A little hesitant to take that particular vaccine again—I will do all the others I need (recently did my second shingles vaccine, which is all I need for my lifetime) to keep myself healthy despite my PMR and arthritis!
