I too developed PMR following the Shingrix vaccines. It took me 2 years but have now been off prednisone for 2 years and no flares of PMR so far. I have been considering getting the pneumonia vaccine (a new one Capvaxive or PCV 21) but am concerned about PMR recurring so have held off.
Have you had any of the pneumonia vaccines? I have had the Covid and flu vaccines without any issues.
Wishing you all the very best health!

You are smart to space any vaccines you get!!
They were going to give my newborn grandson six (6!!) vaccines on one well baby visit! Told my daughter in law to not let them do that—I told her only two at the most at one time. He is a healthy 10 year old today and gets his flu shots and other boosters as needed .
I currently have a stubborn case of bronchitis so I’m putting off getting my vaccines as well….
