Hi John, my sincere thanks for sharing that info. The link states that multisystem inflammatory syndrome affects children and adults who were previously infected with Covid. Thankfully I have not so I don't think that's what is going on. My symptoms also do not match which I was glad to see. I was recently told that the vaccine likely pushed me into an autoimmune overload which is not to say I have an autoimmune disease but rather there is now excess inflammation in my body and my immune system is unable to regulate due to the overload. As a result I am experiencing peripheral neuropathy and RA-like symptoms in my knees and hands. I am hoping that over time the medication I am taking, along with supplements and an anti-inflammatory diet will help. Many thanks again for your thoughtful reply.

I had the same reaction - to not only the Covid vaccine, but also the Quadravaletn flu vaccine in Oct 2020 and the Shingrix vaccine in Jan 2020. My body apparently reacts to the immune system activation with a hyper inflammatory flare. It affects ALL of me - at one point even my scalp hurt. Fortunately my doc figured this out and I am given a two week course of prednisone. That calms it down.

Some good news too. My daughter, who is immune-suppressed, received her 3rd Moderna dose on Tuesday. She had Covid in 2020, 2 doses of the vaccine in December and January, and was very ill each time. The third dose left her with a sore arm, mild aches and mild fatiguee. It just shows that a person will not necessarily react to the vaccine every time.
