I’m sure the flu vaccine was the trigger for my PMR last October. I’m still trying to taper off the prednisone. I can’t stand being on it. I’m down to to 7.5 mg. I still am experiencing pain in my shoulders and arms but I just want to be off the prednisone. I am not in the age group to get the covid vaccine soon but I don’t want to get it when it’s available. I feel I may have another severe flare up.

I had first vaccine from merdena and only had a sore arm. I had huge problems with the flu and shingles shot. I get second shot on the 26th.
