Such an intriguing situation and good questions for research to help answer, @girastancil. Did the vaccinations trigger a PMR flare? Did COVID and/or Paxlovid help ameliorate PMR symptoms?

I moved your message to this existing discussion where @marymv also experienced an improvement in PMR symptoms with COVID.

after stopping the Paxlovid, right back to pain central but did not like the effects the oral anti-viral presented, insomnia, restlessness, etc. So trying different combos to relieve the pain. Like celebrex, a combination of Aleve and Ibupropen which sounds redundant but I did feel better afterwards. Any other suggestions welcome. thanks, Ira
