My best wishes for your mum’s health. Has she taken the vaccine? I am in the same dilemma. Had severe PMR following a flu shot 6 years ago but took the natural path of agony. Have not had a relapse. Now I am debating on the vaccine
I’m very similar to your Mom only 62 years and 1 year out from PMR after getting 2nd Shingrix vaccine. I just got my 2nd COViD vaccine (Pfizer) last week with no PMR flare. Minimal side effects - sore arm and minor lymph node swelling in armpit for 1 day. Wish you all the best of health.
