Is it safe to get the Corona Virus (COVID-19) vaccine with PMR?

John, I'm so grateful that you posted your experience of having a PMR flare due to fighting the COVID infection, your careful consideration about whether or not to get the vaccine, and then the bonus benefit that the mRNA vaccine actually reduces your PMR flare by 50%.
I have heard anecdotally about this happening to some other members here. I hope that you reported your experience to your rheumatologist so that it can be recorded.
BTW: I moved your messages to this existing discussion called "PMR and Corona Virus (COVID-19) vaccine" so that others talking about COVID-19, PMR and the vaccine can hear your story.
How are you doing today, John? What symptoms of your pre-vaccine PMR flare are you still dealing with?

Thank you! To put it bluntly on how i am feeling now is..the 'one shot' pain relief option is now off the table. 🙂
We have to remember that this PMR relief that I did may not work for everyone. We are all different. What may work for me may not work for all, it is a gamble just as any other treatment. I just hope it works for someone. Have a great day !
