COVID Booster, Prednisone and PMR

My PMR came back after my second Moderna vaccine. I had been taking prednisone for 14 months, prior for my first bout of PMR - was only off prednisone for 1 month. I’m now down to 8 mg, and chose to get the booster today. I’m hoping that the 8 mg will suppress any PMR reaction, but I’m prepared to go back up to 15 and wean down again, if it does. I’ll keep you posted.

Follow-up: I had the booster 4 days ago, while on 8 mg of prednisone. No adverse affects this time. I just hope I develop the anti bodies and whatever else the booster does. 😊
