First symptoms of PMR (although I just thought it was sore neck and shoulders), began the summer after my first Covid fax in May 2021. Fast forward to Aug 10 2021, 10 days after the second Vax. Couldn't move. Couldn't get out of bed and definitely could not get out of the bath tub ( my daughter had to assist). We were on vacation in Cape Breton at the time. Went to GP of 29 years who diagnosed me with old age. Finally insisted on bloodwork for RA and my CRP was up to 42. He immediately referred me urgently to an Neurologist here in Halifax, who diagnosed PMR in Jan. 2022. Been on Prednisone since then and now it has apparently morphed into GCA...inconclusive biopsy and Rheumatologist is already trying to wean me down from 60 mg to 50. Pain returned after 3 days and now back up to 60 mg. Still trying to see or even speak with the Rheumatologist to no avail. Only way to do that is to go into ER. Very frustrated at this point.
