Do I really have PMR?

One of the theories about PMR is that it follows infections. I wonder if the number of PMR cases has increased dramatically due to the last couple of years of COVID. I also wonder if the Covid vaccinations and boosters are not the cause of PMR, but the general infection rate of the population is the culprit. I suppose it will be years before we have any answers.

This is a good question related to Covid infections and vaccinations. I can't imagine that with all the research into Covid that no one has found anything related to PMR incidence. Does long Covid cause increase SED rate or increased CRP or is treated with prednisone? I have not heard this mentioned so I do not think there is any relationship between PMR and Covid or Covid vaccinations.
