It IS frustrating not to have anything "proved" which connects the "jabs" with PMR isn't it? I support anyone who is wary of further "vaccines" (of any sort) and count myself among them. And I am SO sorry you had to wait 5 miserable months to get a diagnosis. Without that, medication to alleviate the pain and disability is impossible to come by. I only struggled for a month and was at the point of conceding I no longer wanted to live if I had to bear the crippling and pain when my doctor diagnosed me and started me on prednisone. 5 months would have been an absolute nightmare!!

My difficulty in coming down FIRMLY on the conviction that PMR follows vaccines for some people, is that as with ALL sudden onset conditions, they always follow SOMETHING. How many people have had, say, a heart attack after working out, or eating, or trying a new medication? Even if many did (and probably have in the course of history) no direct connection can be drawn. That may be a poor analogy, but it's all that occurs to me at the moment. I see the potential connection, and as a result, am not interested in further experimentation with any vaccine -- I just wish someone with medical skill and resources would make an effort to study and research the issue, for all our sakes. But then, of course, we'd have the great difficulty of knowing whether to trust what conclusions they promoted. Another (not very amusing) LOL. Best of luck with your PMR settling down.
