Hi Colleen, thanks for that. Lol, no it stands for the engine configuration V2 = VTwin, I love Italian v twin engined motorcycles.
Yes, absolutely. Still some hoops to jump through to get to a Rhumatologist here in New Zealand. By the sounds of it, mine is a mild/medium attack so far. Eating and exercising as well as I can
.Thanks again

Colleen,
Since there seems to be a possible connection between the Covid vaccine and PMR flares, I wonder if there is anyone doing research on this? I would gladly share my journey and I expect others would also. I see the challenge being how to create a situation in which the vaccine can be modified so that it doesn’t cause a flare. I understand that there have probably not been enough PMR flare cases to make it financially viable for drug companies to do the research. But perhaps if the Mayo immunization research group knew that there were several people with flares, it would make since to research it. I think Duke may have received a grant to study some PMR aspects also. I do want to get a booster and help protect myself and others from Covid, but am reluctant because I fear that a booster may cause another PMR flare. And PMR was very painful and significantly limited my daily activities. I would appreciate it if you could direct me to any related research studies. Thank you for all that you and Mayo do. This group is so helpful!
