Thank you for responding. I only found out the relationship with Shingrix vaccine and PMR by reading the fine print in the package insert. It is a rare side effect. It has made me more cautious about taking other vaccines such as the RSV and additional Covid vaccines. It took me 22 months to completely get off prednisone. Whenever I tried to rush the taper, my pain would increase. My rheumatologist would say PMR is a marathon, not a sprint. But thankfully, and I hope for you, too, I have been off prednisone for more than a year and have no symptoms. Good job staying active and eating well. I think that makes a big difference. Wishing you the very best of health Brian.
