At least I'm "with" a Rheumatologist now who said, and I quote "maybe you were just meant to get PMR". The coincidence of vaccine to beginning of pain and vaccine to full flare for 5 months is absolutely not a coincidence. In the process of tapering and fluctuating between 12 and 11.5mg. 12 seems to be my number for another week or so. At 11.5 the upper arm, shoulder and neck start up. 1 or 2 mg. is wonderful. Goals!
