So sorry to hear this...it was very difficult to get anyone to hear me so I suffered with it for 5 months without a diagnosis. Feel it's directly related to the Covid jabs, as began 10 days after. Does not run in the family. Never even heard of it. Prednisone has been miraculous for me. Too bad I had to wait so long to get on it. Most of what I learned I had to research myself on line (sadly) and as it turns out...I was right at a time when I didn't want to be. 🙂 All the best to you m'friend ~ Deb

Thank you for commenting @mild835. It does not run in my family either, nor had I heard of it before. It took 5 months for my doctor to test me and 7 months to get an appointment with a rheumatologist. I, too, suffered for far too long. I did a lot of digging on the web for more information. I would never have taken the shingrix vaccine if I knew about this possible adverse reaction.
I am very disappointed in Merck for not declaring this as a possible adverse reaction. I would rather have had a case of shingles than acquire Polymyalgia Rheumatica. This has changed my entire life for the worse. I have so much discomfort and it’s difficult to sleep at night and go about my daily activities. I can not workout anymore. I used to work out 5 times per week. I’m so unhappy. 🥲
