Have you consulted your Docs and decided for or against Covid vax yet? I got PMR after 1st Moderna and am wary of taking 2nd shot —but I have 10 grandkids without vaccines so I am gathering info from other PMR patients to consider what might happen.

Hi, really sorry to hear of your experience. I did get the Pfizer vaccine, and had mild symptoms after. Normal post vaccine arm pain and some lethargy for a day. I was at 8.5 mg prednisone at the time. Just curious, do you have an underlying autoimmune issue? I did and I think that is what contributed to the OMR after the shingrix vaccine.
