Have had PMR for 5 years. Believe it started after taking Cipro. Have read that others feel their PMR also started after taking Cipro. Was not taking any other medications
Congrats on getting vaccinated! You bring up a very interesting point. My PMR symptoms started (and I was diagnosed) while being treated for MP (Mesenteric Panniculitis) which is 3 months on 40 mg. of Prednisone and a three month taper down program. I ended up suffering terribly from esophageal spasms at that time as well. Maybe the dosage and length of time on prednisone, while helping with one disease, caused a new health problem???
