Can PMR (Polymyalgia Rheumatica) be induced by vaccine?

Seeing a rheumatologist and receiving hydrocortisone which has helped a little. But my life is on hold because of the pain.

I developed PMR immediately following the Shingrix vaccine. It ruined my life. I’m so angry I took that vaccine.

My pain started getting out of hand when I had to stop anti inflammatory medicine due to a lot bleeding ulcers. My right shoulder and arm was hurting so bad that my doctor gave me some kind of steroid shot in the the back of my shoulder and within 2 days the pain was gone and didn’t hurt for quite a while until I went to Shingles vaccine #2 and I’ve been hurting since and my doctor has attempted the steroids 2 more times with no success . He keeps having to increase the pain medicine.

I joined Health Unlocked (British) which has PMR/GCA support section. They often discuss correlation of vaccines and autoimmune conditions. If you search their archives you'll find much to think about. Probably won't make you very happy; it didn't me. My PMR started after Moderna covid vaccine. Of course it could be a coincidence but for now I'm done with vaccines.

I’m not taking any more mRNA vaccines period. And I’m not taking the flu vaccine until I’ve put PMR behind me.

Same here, pmr and gca after covid vaccine. No more, I'll take my chances.

My PMR began after my second Pfizer COVID vaccination. Be sure to report your experience on the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS): https://vaers.hhs.gov/

I can’t be up more than 10 minutes without having to lie down due to the pain. I’m lost as to how to control it. This has taken over my life.

I'm so sorry to hear of your pain. Conversely, I only had pain while in bed and as soon as I got up, my pain went away! It took months to diagnose because my case was so mild, with no inflammatory markers in my blood. I happen to be a dietitian and eat a whole foods, primarily plant-based, organic diet, high in anti-inflammatory foods. I rarely eat or drink dairy and my meat intake is limited to about 2 - 3 oz. per day. I also take turmeric (with black pepper) and omega-3 supplements daily. Omega-3 fatty acids are very hard to find in the standard American diet of mostly processed food. Hope this helps you.

Tell me more about the turmeric. Where do I get it and how can I take ? I also eat a lot of fruits and some vegetables.
Thanks for responding because I feel like no one listens.
