Two weeks in, frightened by meds, PMR and COVID Booster Shot
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Apr 22, 2023 | Replies (87)Comment receiving replies
I am 64, active, healthy. I believe my PMR was triggered by my 4th Covid vaccine. I had 3 Pfizer shots but the 4th shot was Moderna. My symptoms started right after the Moderna shot. I started at 40 mg. Currently at 15 mg.
I am not getting any vaccines while I have PMR. May not get anymore Covid vaccines ever.

Don’t! Too much evidence is pointing to the vaccines being the protagonist for PMR!
Yes I agree! I will NOT be getting any more Covid Boosters ever. My PMR started after the second vaccine and because I was not aware that it was the culprit to my symptoms, I did get the 3rd shot booster last October. Then the pain and weakness really kicked in. Prednisone taper should not go down quickly. Rather as others have commented, needs to be a slow gradual step down.

I believe strongly that my PMR is caused by the vaccines. ( 2 Pfizer and one Moderna Booster). I am not alone as a lot of people have been getting this since the vaccines.
I would NEVER take another COVID vaccine!
