I was a casualty of getting PMR from the Covid vaccines. I have never been seriously sick in my lifetime and there is nothing else that could have caused this. I received the intial two of Phizer shots not realizing that 5 months later that the vaccines were the culprit. I started feeling sluggish with no energy, progressively feeling pain all over like a continuous flu and unexplained loss of weight. From there, it took three specialist ( the last one being a rheumatologist) to correctly diagnose me. Started at 20 mg per day or prednisone and am down to 3mg a day now. However, the pain in the hips, thighs and shoulders have creeped back in. All I can do now is follow the doctors orders and hope it starts subsiding. I will certainly never get another Covid vaccine.....

shalleenkm55, this happened to me also after one Pfizer booster, heart problems and the same continuous flue like feeling, unexplained weight loss and severe all over body pain which was diagnosed as PMR. I refused prednisone and battled through for 3 months, now my pain is thankfully reducing.
I will never have another mRNA vaccine.
