I am male 72. I got my first Covid shot in early April 3 weeks later I came down with PMR by the time I was diagnost I was in bad shape. When I got my second shot I was on 40mg of prednisone I was advised by 2 doctors to get it. Tomorrow I am getting my boaster shot which they also recommend. I am now on 10 mg and will now continue tappering at 1 mg per month. However the reduction from 12.5 to 10 has left me more stiff in the morning than before.

Hi @skiing, Welcome to Connect. My PMR is currently in remission and I always have a little stiffness in the morning. Once I get up and moving a little it gets better and I don't have any pain. I'm scheduled to get my Pfizer booster vaccine in 2 weeks. Do you have any pain with the stiffness in the morning?
