My doctor said she couldn't rule out the connection between the onset of PMR with the COVID vaccine. I had the Pfyzer vaccine and my onset started with days of my second vaccination. When I did get COVID it did cause a flareup of my PMR, after I had successfully weaned of prednisone. I attribute my mild symptoms to my diet hight in anti-inflammatory foods and also the supplements that I take. I take the turmeric Youtherory brand from Costco. It has 2250 mg of turmeric (95% curcuminoids) plus 22.5 mg. black pepper for enhance absorption. the suggested dosage is 3 tabs a day, but i just take one in the morning and one at night. I also take omega-3's from an algae source (this is where fish get their omega-3's). I worry about mercury contamination from a fish source. I also take 2 tabs a day of this. It is near impossible to get enough omega-3's in the typical American diet. Hope this helps.
