Had Shingles shot and now have PMR

Posted by terre @terre, Apr 1, 2019

The shingles shot has now been replaced with a new one that is giving in two doses. I had the shingles in 2014, but since you can get them again I had the shot. Now I have been diagnosed with PMR. The original shot has PMR as a possible side effect. I was never informed of that possibility.

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

Not surprised. They most likely changed the ingredients. Maybe added the MRNA. 👎🏻hoping your PMR is mild but the MRNA is really questionable in my mind. Tc r

I just had my second dose of the shingles shot. Had itching and a very sore arm for two days.
I looked up online if it’s mRNA. Not yet, they’re working on it though.
Hope it doesn’t stir up my PMR!
Having cataract surgery next week. We’ll see what that does to my PMR😲.
