Can PMR (Polymyalgia Rheumatica) be induced by vaccine?
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Oct 19, 2023 | Replies (401)Comment receiving replies
My PMR developed after my second Covid vaccine. My PA diagnosed it quickly and ordered blood work…my initial sed rate was 45. After a year of tapering, I am on 2.5 prednisone and my sed rate is 14. I have a low level of discomfort but can exercise and do other physical activity, just not as quickly or as much as before. I haven’t seen a rheumatologist but wish I had and am going to someone next week.
You can report adverse event to CDC via http://www.vaers.hhs.gov

I plan to contact this vaers site. I think my PMR came after myb1st booster 11/2021.

Definitely, I developed PMR after my first Covid shot and a full blown case after my second shot in 2021. My rheumatologist says she has seen many new PMR cases with both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines.
