kspowell. Your in a flare up then AFTER the vaccine shot? Hmmmm. Sorry to hear this. Or read it..:) My PMR flare up was reduced to around half after I received my first dose of the Moderna vac. My second dose is to come Tuesday and really hoping it will reduce it a lot more. As to comparing to me with the vaccines and PMR flares, maybe the Pfizer doesn't work as well against PMR? I D K.
What I do believe from my own research and trial is that the PMR flared up in me because it was fighting off the C-19 virus and that is why the PMR flared up. Maybe since you already had your C-19 shots the Delta variant is coming into play? And your vaccine is fighting it off? I wonder if the Moderna is stronger insofar as to fighting PMR..... I do understand the flare up pain you are referring to...make's you crazy, it does. Your case is sure a confusing one to me. But, there is alot of factors that come in to play for differences of how PMR affect each one of us. We have the basic pains of it together, but each one of us has a different lifestyle and take different drugs/ supplements, different diets...etc. , so our bodies react differently than others...understand that? What works for me may not work for you, or someone else. I will try to remember your posting for future reference though. Good luck.
