Can PMR (Polymyalgia Rheumatica) be induced by vaccine?

Thank you

You state:

"From the history you have relayed it is reasonable to think there might be a connection between getting a vaccine and coming down with PMR."

I have found two scientific studies that have made a connection between vaccines and PMR onset:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7249527/
https://www.ejcrim.com/index.php/EJCRIM/article/view/4636
I would like to find more.

If others believe I am being irresponsible and selfish by relaying what happened to me and what I believe - please let me know.

Best Regards,

Jim Gould

I don't see why anyone should go all hush-hush about the possible, or even likely cause of their auto-immune condition for political reasons. Scientific inquiry is more important than politics.

Add this one to your growing knowledge base.
"Clinical cases and series of heterogeneous autoimmune conditions including systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis have been reported to be induced by several adjuvants."
"Adjuvants are substances that are able to trigger autoimmunity via a variety of mechanisms, such as alteration of the host’s immune system..... Exposure to adjuvants can occur in a variety of methods due to their wide range of uses in vaccines, mineral oils, silicone implants, and many other products and devices."
"When used in vaccines, adjuvants are purposely used as immunogenicity enhancing agents that are essential for directing the adaptive immunoresponse. However, they might also trigger undesired autoimmune reactions...."
