Same. Onset after first Covid vax May 2021 (although went undiagnosed at that time), escalated 10 days after second Covid vax August 2021 with same symptoms as you describe. This went on until December 2021 when I insisted upon blood work for RA. Inflammation markers were through the roof. Now-retired GP urgently referred me to a Neurologist here in Halifax. I was immediately put on 20 mg. Prednisone and still working through the PMR, now morphed to GCA and at 60 mg. These were Pfizer vaccines. Will never take another. Have never had a flu shot, or shingles. Previously completely well and on the move. Not so much at this time.
