Def with PMR, which is much better in my legs now since summer, (thank the Universe), I will NOT take the senior flu shot. I have not gotten a covid booster since last Nov and did not get a flu shot last year or this year. I am really afraid to start a flare. No more senior flu shots. I also had only 1 of the 2 pneumonia shots and have to hope that it does offer some protection..I have read that it does.
I hear you.

I couldn't agree with you more. That senior flu shot is rediculously potent. It sent my PMR flaring (but didn'y know at the time my symptoms were PMR). I had the vaccine reluctantly the day before Thanksgiving, Nov 27th. Thanksgiving was spent at home with all flu symptoms. My left rm that was vaccinated is still giving me symptoms after over 1 month. The PCP who gave me the flu vaccine should not have given it to someone who is already under the weather.
