PMR Flair up From a Virus?

Posted by christopherc @christopherc, Jun 27, 2022

Has anyone with a Polymyalgia Rheumatica had a significant flareup that they think was triggered by a virus such as a cold, COVID-19 or the flu? I have and I was wondering whether anyone else has had this experience and if so, if they know why a virus might trigger a flareup or a relapse.

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

Thanks, John. I was aware that PMR might be triggered by a virus. I am interested in whether people with PMR have had a flare up or relapse during a virus. I’ve had a flare up with a cold.

@christopherc that appears to my case. First time diagnosis. Last week I had a cold. The pain started at the tail end of the virus. I wasn't even over it fully. I hope that helps.
