Even when things are correlated that isn’t the same as causation. I have experienced flares after vaccines but not every time I get a vaccine. I avoid vaccines some of the time but not all the time. I think everything in medicine is mostly random chance.

Interesting! I was wondering about that. I am not schooled in science or statistics so appreciate the correction. If an occurrence has a 1:1 correlation in 100% of the incidences, wouldn’t that rack up to cause and effect? Not saying this is/was the case, but I’m needing an education here.
Regardless, your personal haphazard correlation between vaccines and PMR flares is interesting.
Thanks for your welcome addition to this discussion.
I wonder if there’s a prophylactic remedy—such as some dietary complement in preparation to the vaccine that might reduce severity or eliminate the hyper- reactivity of a PMR flare?
