COVID Booster, Prednisone and PMR

Hello - I had PMR triggered by the Pfizer Covid vaccine back in March. I went through the Prednisone treatments for 5 months and currently doing well. I have some morning stiffness, last Sed rate was 6. I have inquired about the Booster Shot and haven't got any real solid advice. Do you folks recommend that I get the Booster? Should I expect PMR to return? Should I immediately plan to go on Prednisone again or wait to see what happens? This is stressful trying to figure out the best path forward. Thanks

@cjh51, I have PMR but it is currently in remission. I've had both Pfizer COVID vaccines and am schedule to get the booster later this month. I'm sorry to hear that the vaccine caused your flare but happy to hear you are currently doing well on the prednisone. I really don't think there is anyone that can answer your question on will the PMR return. Here's some recent information that may answer a few questions for you.
