Hello @kathleenkapes, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear you had a PMR flare up after your vaccine. Have you seen a rheumatologist or started treatment for the PMR yet?

Yes. Started 15 mg. On Monday, after two trial weeks to be sure it would work. Also was tested for Lyme, had two MRI’s, and 2 xrays. Lots of blood work. I’m into my 8th month of pain and weakness. PT made it worse.
