I completely agree that Covid Vaccine or having Covid is what triggered mine too. Completely healthy, vibrant, active, and now debilitated. I pray it goes away eventually forever.

Welcome @froehlich22, Sorry to hear the COVID vaccine triggered your PMR. I've had 2 occurrences of PMR but it wasn't caused by the vaccine and thankfully it's currently in remission. I'm assuming you were started on prednisone to help with the inflammation and pain. You might find the following discussions helpful:

Has your doctor started you on prednisone or an alternative medication?
