Yes. First vaccine May 4/21. Neck sore all summer but just thought it was a very sore neck. Second vax Aug. 4/21. 10 days later, tried to get out of bed and could not move. Neck, shoulders, arms, hands and progressed to hips over a 5 month period. Had to leave work mid-November as my hands were in splints and I couldn't turn my neck. Have not driven since last August. Finally diagnosed Jan. 4/22. CRP was 44.6. Started Prenisone 20mg next day. No pain as of today. Started back to work part-time yesterday. No PMR in the family, no rheumatoid, no auto-immune diseases whatsoever. Never heard of PMR. I certainly know what it is now and will never get a booster. Never tested positive for C-19 ever. Was perfectly healthy before. Hoping to start a slow taper soon. Glad to be pain free. Side effects...can be daunting at times. Good luck with your tapering and progress. 🙂

I have not yet been fully diagnosed with PMR but have all the symptoms and just started 10 mg prednisone. I have had issues in the past with this but then I got covid and received regeneron and was very sick for 3 months then got vaccinated and that's when my symptoms got extreme and have been trying to be diagnosed since. Good luck
