Can PMR (Polymyalgia Rheumatica) be induced by vaccine?

Mine first began (although I did not put 2+2 together) back in May 2021 about a month after my first Covid-19 vaccine. Sore neck, so shoulders, etc. Then in August 2021 about 10 days after my second vaccine, the caca hit the fan and I was all the way down with pain, but could not get my GP (who has since retired) to admit that it was not just simply "old age". Finally in December, he referred me for blood work at my request because I was getting worse. My CRP was in the 40's. Just before he retired, he got me referred to a Neurologist and at beginning of January, 2022 I was diagnosed with PMR (never had heard of it). So in answer to your question, yes....although my Rheumatologist (not for long), asked me if I didn't think I was just supposed to get PMR. This is NOT something which runs in my family at all. Lots of other illnesses, but nothing related to PMR, RA, etc.

Me too and I have 8 siblings and parents that lived to be over 100. I can't get any doctor to say that the vaccine caused my pain so I have been living with uncertainty thinking maybe I have cancer that they missed as cancer does run in my family. Every time I get pain someplace I haven't had in the past I think the worst. But, the pain from this crap can't get any worse than I experienced both before and after stopping prednisone on my own last week. I have never taken more than 5 mg and slowing down wasn't working for me so after getting to 3mg and after a two week vacation, I just stopped cold turkey and that was dumb. I do have a doctor and he told me to go to 3 1/2 but I know better. LOL Took 2 mg last night and slept. Going to try hot tub and stay on 2 mg if I can manage the pain but think I have internal organ inflammation also. Does anyone else have arm pit pain? Does anyone have organ inflammation?
