Well... I had both a flu vaccine and a pneumonia vaccine at the same time on 12/15/22. On 12/26/22 I went to the emergency room because of severe overall stiffness and pain, could barely walk. They admitted me to the neurological department and after 80 some test sent me home in a walker without a resolution. A few weeks later I was diagnosed with PMR and have been on various dosages of Prednisone since. Recently was prescribed Kevzara but awaiting insurance approval. Barely a sick day my entire life prior to 12/26/22 so one can draw their own conclusion.

Wow
Sorry to hear it - the Medical community needs to get a handle on what is causing PMR -
The Prednisone is helping me a lot - I only have a little bit of soreness in the wrists now.
My shoulder pain is complicated by the fact that I tore tow tendons in left shoulder about 9 months before the vaccinations and PMR onset in 11/24
I have no proof but I feel 100% sure in my gut that the PMR was caused by one/both of the Covid and flu vaccines I received from Walgreens on 11/13/24

Best to you
