I had my 4th COVID vax in April of ‘22. By June I could barely move. I was diagnosed with PMR in mid August and have been on Pred since then. I got COVID 2 months ago after attending a funeral where someone came sick. I got Paxlovid the day after I tested positive and did ok. I won’t get another mRNA vax either.

I too developed PMR 7 to 10 days after 2nd Moderna booster shot, July 2022 at age 57. I am down to 5mg prednisone now 9/23. It took almost a month for the proper diagnoses. First sent to orthopedics. I read a similar store where someone else was also sent to orthopedics. I never even heard of PMR and everyone I talk too says to me, "PMR-what is that? I did get to 3 mg back in July but symptoms reappeared so now I back to 5mg and trying not to go up anymore. I never had issues with hips. My issues have been with calves, arms, neck, shoulder, and hands so far. Started at 30mg. Hopeful. I really wished I never got the second booster. No one is admitting that the covid vaccines are causing issues! I have heard similar stories from others maybe not with PMR but other things. These forums are a godsend. Thanks to everyone. This has been hell dealing with. There is another mayo clinic link, "Prednisone tapering is challenging. What does remission feel like?"
