I also had a PMR flareup after Pfizer Covid vaccine in October 2025. I’m still in flareup while on 2 doses daily, one dose 1 mg and one dose 2.5. Pain gets better mid-day but never completely gone. Fingers very swollen, had to have my ring cut off. Getting harder to dress myself in am, because symptoms are better in pm. I am 81 and female.

I'm sorry to hear you haven't had better results with prednisone treatment. I was very fortunate that I felt the help within hours and continued to improve. I tapered off after the first month. It took almost a year to do so. So far no symptoms of PRM have returned. I'll be 89 in a few weeks. Good luck and good health. Hugs, smj
