Anyone with PMR have experience with 4th COVID vax jab?

Hi, new to this site (but not new to PMR) and saw the questions about the Covid Vaccine. I also have Crohn's and my husband has Thyroid auto immune disease and we have had the Moderna series and two boosters, to date. Since the PMR predated the vaccine, I am sure that it wasn't responsible. We have had only expected side effects and the piece of mind is well worth it. We will take a third booster (hopefully for varients) should it become available. I reccommend that everyone take it who can. I am 75 and didn't like my odds with this disease.

I would also be interested in hearing about others experience using low dose naltrexone (LDN). It helps me at least not hurt when I don't move. Whereas, before I hurt all the time, even when I was trying to sleep. Has it helped anyone else?

Welcome @suetex, I've had 2 occurrences of PMR prior to COVID vaccines but the PMR is currently in remission. I have had both Pfizer shots and the first booster and I got COVID. I had the monoclonal antibody infusion as a treatment and I probably will not get the 2nd COVID booster. I also only had the expected side effects from the vaccines.

There is another discussion where you can read through and learn what others haved shared about their experience using LDN --- Anyone with experience using Low Dose Naltrexone?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-with-experience-using-low-dose-naltrexone/

Are you still being treated for your PMR and looking to see if low dose naltrexone will help?
