Layla, thank you for sharing your experience. As tough as it is to hear, it pales against your experience. I think your body mounted a good response to the vaccine. Hopefully lots of antibodies In Your system. Im on 10mg prednisone, can’t seem to taper very fast and have had GCA symptoms when I tried previously. Taking it very slowly ( .5 mg mo). Curious to know how your covid experience was? Do elaborate.
It would be great if a researcher could study your responses after 30 days. Hope you continue to recover .

I had a PMR flare with my arms about 3 days prior to a sudden fever of just below 100 - I was tested for covid the next day and was positive. My fever never really got over 100 - I had a severe headache and body aches, mainly just very uncomfortable - lost taste and smell on day 5 - had several episodes of nausea - second week I was mainly tired and had some nausea. I was at 3mg steroids at the time but have since had to increase to 5mg.
