I have PMR and was diagnosed after getting shingles. Within 9 months it had gone away while I was on methylprednisolone. I went off medication and it stayed away. Sept 2020 I got the shingles vaccine "Shingrix" which is the same family of MRna shots as the COVID shot. Within 24 hours the pain came back full force. My doctor told me it was the vaccine and not to take the COVID one as I would probably end up in the hospital. I have not and will not partake in the "vaccine". I am now 10 month of pain, and can no longer take either prednisone or methyprednisolone as the side effects are worse than the pain. I am no working with nutrition and de-stressing my life. I know that alcohol, sugar, and processed foods tend to make the pain worse. So I am going to try anti-inflammatory foods, limit my carbohydrates to whole foods, and be very careful of what protein I eat. I also take Vit D, B12, magnesium, calcium, calm & Clear (chinese herbal formula), melatonin, fish oil, and a few other supplements. I am hoping this will take and lessen the pain to where I am able to sleep through the night and function better during the day.
