Side effects after Covid Vaccine - symptoms seem like PMR
Has anyone else had PMR symptoms (without confirmation- a blood test didn't show any inflamation) after Covid or Covid Vaccine. I wake up every morning with horrible pain in the same places as PMR. Doctors are not helping me.

@janiceem. I wholeheartedly agree with your diet recommendations and have eaten this way for many years. Unfortunately my system doesn’t tolerate turmeric well. It gives me the scoots if I take it as a supplement or eat foods that contain it. Other than that, I tolerate a healthy diet successfully.
I stay away from turmeric too. It's high in oxalates which bind to calcium and stop it being absorbed. Calcium oxalates can cause kidney stones, and calcium oxalate crystals in joints and soft tissue are involved in oxalate arthritis. A lot of so-called "superfoods" are said to be anti-inflammatory but are very high oxalate.
@janiceem I admire and respect your knowledge as a nutritionist. I guess my body is doing me a favor by rejecting tumeric! Who knew 🤗
It's interesting that turmeric isn't tolerated by some people. I hadn't heard that before. Just an FYI, I did have a kidney stone episode in my 50's, when I didn't take turmeric or drink a green smoothie each day. I am almost 70 now and have been taking turmeric and eating many anti-inflammatory superfoods for at least 10 years now, with no reoccurence of stones. I do drink a lot more water, though. The only food that I avoid is raw spinach in my green smoothie because of oxalates.
