Anyone diagnosed with PMR after the Covid vaccine?

I too, was diagnosed with PMR after a Pfizer immunization. And then also getting giant cell. I was perfectly healthy before not a runner, but I did walk a mile a day, and I was a very active person. PMR has brought me to my knees for sure. Now struggling just to find a little glimpse of the energy I once had. Taking baby steps back.
The CDC of course does not recognize the link as to what we’re all suffering. I believe they do not recognize that because there has been no studies. They are just completely ignoring it for the present time, otherwise other people would not get immunized. It’s definitely a cover-up as far as our concerns are. They don’t want to admit their fault in all of this.
They just say there’s no there has been no link, but what they’re not saying is they’re not looking for one either.
I guess when the trust in your in the CDC has gone I don’t know where to turn for truthful answers. It’s just frustrating.
Thanks for letting me vent my own personal thoughts..
Hope everyone has a good day. 🌻

Did your report your case to VAERS? If not, here is the link: https://vaers.hhs.gov/

Yes. First Pfizer vax May 2021. Pain in neck and shoulders all that summer. I bought several pillows, thinking that was the problem. It was not. Second Pfizer vax August 4, 2021. Went on a little car trip with family on August 14th. After the first night at the motel, woke up unable to move. Still thinking it was either the bed or the pillows, in so much pain got into the tub and was unable to get out. I had to get my daughter to help me. It escalated from there, to carpal tunnel-like symptoms in my right hand. It kept going numb from thumb right around to middle finger (which has never lost the stiffness completely). Was wearing a carpel tunnel splint, so I could use the computer mouse (working from home). Family doc (who has since retired) poo-pooed it as "old age stiffness". Eventually, I could do not even the smallest thing. Had to take unpaid sick leave from work. Went to a Chiropractor, physio. Nothing was working. Could barely sit on the toilet and had to get a riser seat; could not reach around to clean. Did some research. Asked the Chiro if he thought it could be PMR or RA. He didn't think so. Finally my pharmacist suggested I get blood work done to test for RA. I convinced the GP for the bloods and CRP was up to 42 (which he did NOT notice). He finally in December 2021 urgently referred me to a Neurologist, who diagnosed PMR (Jan. 2022) and put me on 20 mg Prednisone. Immediate relief. Recently (Jan. 2023) I had a GCA scare and put up to 60 mg. Prednisone. Had TA biopsy done, which appeared to be negative, although the Prednisone could be "helping" that. Ophtamology says eyes are good.Right now I'm dealing with extreme, extreme fatigue, exhaustion, weakness and sweats, sleeping for 2 hours in the afternoons after a brief walk around a store; waiting for blood work results for Glucose (never a problem in the past) and of course SED and CRP. I now have no GP and the unreachable Rheumatologist. Prior to the vax in May 2021, health problems were NIL. There are many with the same or similar stories.
