I had Covid for the first time Nov 1 2023 and my PMR symptoms were virtually non-existent. It was the best I had felt since my initial diagnosis in July 2023. I did not take Plaxovid or any other treatment for the virus. My rheumatologist was baffled but was happy that I felt so good. Of course as I recovered from the virus the PMR symptoms returned. It's interesting to read that my experience was not unusual.
