Good information. I was diagnosed with PMR in April of 2019. Started out on 60mg of prednisone, quickly down to 40mg, then 20,10,5 and now for 3 months at 2.5 mg. I seem to be symptom free. Just started hydroxychloroquine, 400 mg a day. Feeling great.
Got the senior flu vaccine in October...no problems. Got the first shingrix vaccine in November and am waiting for the second. My big question that even my rheumatologist team has not yet answered: as PMR is an autoimmune disease, and the vaccines are designed to ramp up your immune system, will the COVID vaccine cause severe side effects and a return of the PMR symptoms? I am scheduled for the first Pszyer (sp?) shot tomorrow morning, and a little nervous.
