I had my first bout of PMR thirteen years ago in 2008 when I was 62. It lasted six to eight months and then went into remission until January 2021 when I received my first Covid vaccination. I didn't suspect the vaccination at first and went ahead with the second shot, after which I became unable to function without assistance for the simplest tasks. Then it dawned on me that the Covid vaccination had re-triggered the PMR. I began prednisone treatment and got almost immediate relief from the pain and stiffness. As soon as the lab tests showed that the inflammation levels had returned to normal, I started a slow taper of the prednisone. The rheumatologist gave me a schedule and advised that it would take three months if things went smoothly. I felt extremely lucky to be able to discontinue the prednisone after carefully following the prescribed schedule. Although I still have some residual pain and stiffness, particularly in the morning, I am continuing to improve. I even went ahead with the booster shot, since the rheumatologist advised that I would likely have a more severe case of Covid with a worse outcome because of my autoimmune condition. He said it would be better to take the booster and then deal with the PMR again than to risk contracting Covid. Before I took the shot, the pharmacist opined that since I had overcome the PMR my body had adjusted to the antibodies and he must have been right because I have had no issues with the booster. I am a 75 year old woman and weigh approximately 100 lbs. I feel very grateful to be mostly pain free after enduring a debilitating bout of PMR.
