Prednisolone immuno-suppressant effect v Covid booster protection

Right after I got my Flu vaccine I got PMR. It has been 4 1/2 yrs, and had to retire from work. I took the covid vaccine to go on a cruise and I was unable to walk within an hour of getting the first vaccine. Had to take a prednisone dosing starting with 3 days at 80mgs. It did improve but it will be a slow process back to normal. I got the 2nd covid vaccine 4 weeks later and PMR symptoms were increased in back and arms took 10mgs of Prednisone for 3 days then back down to 5mgs and I have not titrated down yet as the symptoms are still very present. I have just started taking PEMF (pulse electro magnetic field) treatments They have helped a great deal the first 3 consecutively!

@quilterdar - was reading up on pulse electro magnetic field technology since your post is about the third time I have heard of it. Wondering what type of doctor prescribed it for you? It is interesting that they have helped and am hoping that you can expand on how they have helped you.
Since PMR is a type of systemic vasculitis it makes a lot of sense to me that something like pulse electro magnetic field therapy could be a big help. I understand it is used for Olympic and professional athletes.
