I got PMR 4 months ago in my hips. It was not initially diagnosed and my doctor diagnosed it as austio arthriti.s But over time ( 3 months) I got stiff shoulders, fingers and muscle weakness especially in my legs.
Still un-diagnosed as PMR I caugtt covid and for 2 days I was 75% better. I found it very strange ! Then it returned to as it bad as it was before covid. My physio suggested it could be PMR. Eventually.my Doctor prescribef prenistone and i am now 95% better no pain no stiffness. I am on 15mg and reviewing with Doctor medication reduction next week. I am convinced the phizer jab caused the PMR and confirm catching covid dramically reduced my symptons for the first worst 2 days !
