Hello,
I always weigh the risks and benefits or at least try too. I did have the flu shot and had no side effects. Cannot say the same about the Covid booster but then again, was it the booster or “ in the cards.” My PMR diagnosis is fairly new and still navigating the waters, however I am convinced that diet plays a key role in controlling symptoms.

Hello,
I guess we will never know for sure if PMR was just waiting to emerge or that a vaccine pushed it over the edge. However now we are stuck with it! I think diet does play a part in getting better. I’m making a conscious effort to eat less carbs as being on prednisone definitely makes one hungrier.
