Typo, I meant to say After the Pfizer I meant I got PMR about 4 to 6 weeks after

I experienced an attack of PMR almost immediately after receiving my first Covid vaccination. I didn't realize the possibility that the shot caused the attack and went ahead with the second injection, after which I became unable to function without assistance. With the help of a rheumatologist, I was able to overcome most of the worst symptoms and taper off of prednisone. I no sooner accomplished this when the news came out that a booster shot was available. Of course, I was thrown into a quandary about whether I should risk another severe bout with PMR. The rheumatologist advised that individuals with autoimmune diseases like PMR are much more likely to have bad outcomes from Covid and that, in his opinion, it would be better to take the chance of another attack of PMR and go back on prednisone if necessary, than to risk having Covid. He further opined that my body had adjusted to the antibodies, since although they remained in my system, I had been able to overcome the PMR. With this encouragement, I went ahead with the booster and had no problems with it. Of course, everyone is different and my experience is not necessarily a guideline for others. I am a seventy-five year old woman and I have had two bouts of PMR thirteen years apart.
