Anyone diagnosed with PMR after the Covid vaccine?

I developed PMR after Pfizer booster. Was prescribed 10 mg prednisone daily and the pain was relieved within hours. I reduced by 1 mg every 30 days. It worked perfectly for me and amprednisone free since January. No return of PMR!

@smj did you keep tapering at 1 mg per month till you got to 0?

Thank you smj for your helpful reply, it’s good to hear that prednisone helped you so much, think I must give it a try as the pain is wearing me down. I was in fear of not being able to come off pred, I’m waiting for appointments on 6th to ask my doc about naltrexone or pred, I would prefer naltrexone if it will reduce this pain.
