I had the covid vaccines and then when I went to have the shingles vaccine, I had horrible pain in my neck shoulders. It felt just like when I had PMR. No doctor would listen to me because my blood tests did not show inflammation. After months of pain I finally got cortisone shots in my shoulders and for the spasms coming from my neck. I went to a new rheumatologist and he felt because of the family history, I definitely had PMR but my IGg levels were so low, I wasn't registering inflammation.

@bpyle47 I developed PMR after my second mRNA vaccination in 2021 and had no inflammation markers at all. It took 4 months to diagnose because of this and the fact that I only hurt while laying in bed! Once i started taking 10 mg. of Prednisone, my pain went away and I tapered off of that dose in about a year. There is another thread just discussing the COVID vaccine and PMR. You can probably find it by searching this site.
