Can antibiotics trigger a PMR episode?

Posted by carlotta @carlotta, Jan 12, 2024

Does anyone know if you take an antibiotic for a recurring bladder infection will it trigger PMR episode?
Seems like every time I take antibiotics I get terrible painful joints etc. and fever.and symptoms are such it is an allergic reaction to the antibiotic.

Does the PMR fight with antibiotics?

I haven’t told my rheumatologist about the problem. I’m on a low dose of prednisone.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) Support Group.

Had bad flare after oral cipro antibiotic was prescribed prior to prostate biopsy.
