Had Shingles shot and now have PMR

Hi!
So sorry to hear your story. I do not have PMR, although it sounds a lot like Fibromyalgia, which I do have. I also have OA and spinal problems. It's hard to tell where my pain comes from. I had 2 spinal surgeries a couple of years ago and it helped a lot!
My vision issues were temporary, although I still have some permanent affects. The doctor who thought I had shingles was my eye doctor and he was right. He did tell me that if my eyes didn't get better I would need glasses like yours.
I've had Shingles shots since they came out.
Of course, these days, it's the COVID shot we are trying to get.
Best of luck to you!

grandmaR, so glad you recovered from the diplopia. I was hoping mine was temporary too, but alas it was not to be. It definitely impacts my life, but life goes on and we adjust. Getting older takes courage right?? I too have spinal issues, so again I relate to your statement about where pain comes from. I've avoided surgeries for 30+ years, opting for soft tissue therapy, PT, exercise and other non invasive treatments. It's not fun of course and I have come close to considering surgery, esp given the advances in recent years. But as you say, everything is on the back burner until the COVID matter is far behind us. probably a year or so. Good luck to you too.
