@spondee thank you.
The thing people aren't realizing is if the inflammation from the vaccine makes pain in your body worse, the inflammation from covid is 100 times that. So skipping the vaccine but getting the illness is not the smartest idea. I'm glad you got the vaccine. I ended up with the long covid and an autoimmune pain condition I have called CRPS spread up to my hips. I was vaccinated thank gof as I had a mild case but I still ended up on cortisone for months. Suddenly I realized my OLP wasn't hurting. I had no sores. As soon as I went off of it they came right back of course but so did my CRPS nightmare. I decided the wean was too fast. So she put me back on five for a month and eventually down to two for a month and I didn't experience the discontinued cortisone flare. Its good to read about the gluten. I've been cutting down for pain reasons not really thinking about the fact that the OLP would improve. Duh. I just noticed I have no sores today. When in pain all the time and then it's gone for a day or 2, i kind of forget to notice. Chronic pain is odd.
