I associate stress with my initial experience with PMR. But I have to ask, is there any correlation of your flareups with COVID vaccinations?

I had a leg flare up after the bivalent and the pt attributed to the vaccine… took1 month to feel better… but this was over a year begore being diagnosed with PMR… but convinced the vaccine was the start of the over active immune system as I also have hashimoto’s…

I had no issues with the COVID vaccines other than feeling crummy for a few days. I had both Pfizer and Moderna. It wasn't until I actually caught COVID that I then flared. And now it seems my two flares since being diagnosed are related to catching "something" - both correlated with a stomach bug and some stress.
