Two weeks in, frightened by meds, PMR and COVID Booster Shot
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Apr 22, 2023 | Replies (87)Comment receiving replies
My husband is an internist too, but I got my own PCP last week. I am about 2 months into this, 3 weeks since I diagnosed myself and started myself on 20mg, lol. I was out of town for 8 days, alone and I never leave home without prednisone. Labs were near normal but I couldn't get out of bed, hips and shoulders.
My Moderna shots 2 and 3 made me ill, 3rd was like a vagal collapse, faint, violent vomiting, diarrhea. I will never get another. I blame the PMR on the covid vaxes messing up my autoimmunity, had lupus in the past. I'm 71.

Sorry to hear this. I lost a very close friend of mine a few months ago weeks after getting her fourth vaccine. She got covid after that one. She had a different type of auto immune. I told her to wait on that 4th vaccine. Not enough known about these vaccines. I got 3 and no more for me. Who knows what long and short term effects are. I’m on second taper down to 1 mg and feeling discomfort. Can live with this level as long as blood tests stay normal.

I also blame the Covid vaccines for my PMR. I can't take boosters so I wear a mask when inside. Hate that!!
