Studies on Covid 19 vaccine causing PMR

Maybe I'm being pessimistic, but I feel that the studies related to PMR are more so driven by the anti-vaccine crowd. We are not a priority for the big pharmaceuticals because there's no pot of gold waiting for them on the other side of their studies. I think any breakthrough for PMR will be by accident or a side note to a more financially rewarding study.

@kjoed53 not pessimistic, that’s the reality. I’ve had 6 COVID vaccines but not had COVID. In the last 3 years, ( raise of my age, now 69) I started yearly flu vaccines for the first time ever, shingles vaccine and more as “recommended.”
Growing up in the age of Polio, as most of us here did, I am a believer in vaccines.
Having said that, for me personally, I think I just had a perfect storm brew. Vaccines, shoulder replacement, need a knee replacement, and two over the top mental stressors that were out of my control, in my opinion, led me to this autoimmune PMR hijacking of my body.
There’s no pot of gold for whoever finds a cure for PMR, and few resources for research.
I don’t know why or how I/we got it. But the fact is we did and as far as answers, we may never get them.
Grin, smile and treat my body right. Daily physical work-outs, positive mental attitude, differentiate what I can and cannot do (humbling) and visualizing the best outcomes is what I’m doing to cope with PMR, Prednisone and its many side-effects.
Best wishes.
