I am very certain my PMR was triggered by the first shot of the Shingrix vaccine. I am not an anti vaxxer but not all vaccines are equal. 5 days after it the pain descended upon me w a vengeance. 2 of my 3 Drs sheepishly concurred. To have had my life totally upended by something that people kept telling me I really should get is beyond ironic. It makes perfect sense that my immune system overreacted. I just want to find the balance again but in the meantime I got Lyme that went misdiagnosed for 9 months, Covid w hair loss and fell and fractured both feet ( my bone density is fine and I healed well) WTF was this year about?? Lol I’m starting DNA testing and will let you know if it unlocks any keys to healing. I’m grateful for prednisone but enough is enough!

My flare came after a flu and a Covid shot (2 weeks apart). Could be that. But then again, I had a colonoscopy in that time period too. I’m a healthy critter all in all but I believe that was felt as an onslaught to my immune system. Too much in too short a time. Plus I was overworking myself, stressed and tired. Now I’m a year older and my arthritis is kicking in! I tell ya. We’re lucky, though. We’re alive. We have access to medicine that brings immediate relief. We don’t have a fatal disease to contend with. And I don’t know about you but I am mobile. I’m counting my blessings. PS Sorry you’ve been through the wringer! Heck of a thing.
