Recently, August 23, 2025, I had Covid and took Paxlovid…all of my PMR symptoms were relieved for more than 10 days.
I have a virtual appointment this coming Monday, September, 8th 2025. I am going to discuss with my Mayo rheumatologist representative that my PMR symptoms being relieved for about 10 days from the Paxlovid 5 day regimen.
Yes!!!!!!! I suspect that my PMR may be from a viral source in my body.
Recent MRI results identify inflammation but I have never had a comprehensive Antigen series of blood tests.
I understand how you could be so frustrated…I am too. I have been suffering with varying levels of pain for over a year.
As I am tapering through 2mg. of prednisone I still have days of terrible pain!!!
