I'm going on 3 years now with PMR and down to 2-1/2 mgs Prednisone. All was going well. Yesterday I tested positive for Covid and the aches and pains have started again. I don't know if it is from the Covid (hard to get out of bed) or if it's a resurge of the PMR. Has anyone else had Covid with PMR?

Yes. Your ESR and Crp will go up too. Mine was over 100. Still going down. Waiting for results today on blood. Had to go up on pred.
