Initially after my first bout of Covid, 4 months later I woke up with terrible hip pain and debilitating weakness, and after I got Covid a year later for the second time (6 months after 2 Pfizer covid vaccines!) I couldn't raise my arms and my shoulder/collar bone pain was severe. After a year of testing (my CRP and SED rates were initally totally normal), I was finally diagnosed with PMR. My CRP and SED were high at the beginning of this year, and I am still on prednisone and waiting to start Kevzara next week, but when I weaned down to 1 mg prednisone and then 0 last month to see where I was with the condition, my CRP/SED was again normal. Go figure! My debilitation and pain came right back so I'm on 10mg prednisone again after weaning down from 20. It's all so mysterious.
