Hi @heblegan. Sorry to hear you’ve been struck by by PMR again. I too feel my PMR was induced by a vaccine, shingrix I believe. My sense is that until we have more personalized pharm, well still see these events for a percentage of people.
Back to you, how are you feeling? Are you taking any prednisone?
I too had the Pfizer vaccine ( both doses) and still on Prednisone 8.5 mg and very slowly tapering...
no bad impacts two weeks out.
I wish you the best, again sorry you’re back here at sq one.

I can’t seem to wrap my head around thinking that getting a vaccine will bring out PMR again. I never want to be where I was last November December and January with such a major flareup. I’m not convinced getting the vaccine is worth getting a severe flareup
