Can PMR (Polymyalgia Rheumatica) be induced by vaccine?
Good evening, I’ve recently been diagnosed with PMR. It came on a week after my flu shot October 23, 2020.
Has anyone experienced the same diagnosis after a flu shot?
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) Support Group.
Thank you
You state:
"From the history you have relayed it is reasonable to think there might be a connection between getting a vaccine and coming down with PMR."
I have found two scientific studies that have made a connection between vaccines and PMR onset:

I would like to find more.
If others believe I am being irresponsible and selfish by relaying what happened to me and what I believe - please let me know.
Best Regards,

I have a teacher friend who got PMR after the covid vaccine. Even her doctor admitted it was probably from the vaccine. She was miserable for quite some time. My granddaughter received the covid shot( I want to say she was 8 years old). She ended up at Yale with suspected lupus nephritis and had fluid around all her organs. My son kicks himself to this day. He thought he was doing the right thing. My granddaughter still is seen and that was at least 4 years ago now. I think for the majority of people it was/is safe, but for many it has initiated something dormant in our DNA that comes to the fore and causes much havoc. After all it was a very quickly developed vaccine. I am not an anti vaccine person - just a cautious old lady. Irene5
I don't see why anyone should go all hush-hush about the possible, or even likely cause of their auto-immune condition for political reasons. Scientific inquiry is more important than politics.
Add this one to your growing knowledge base.
"Clinical cases and series of heterogeneous autoimmune conditions including systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis have been reported to be induced by several adjuvants."
"Adjuvants are substances that are able to trigger autoimmunity via a variety of mechanisms, such as alteration of the host’s immune system..... Exposure to adjuvants can occur in a variety of methods due to their wide range of uses in vaccines, mineral oils, silicone implants, and many other products and devices."
"When used in vaccines, adjuvants are purposely used as immunogenicity enhancing agents that are essential for directing the adaptive immunoresponse. However, they might also trigger undesired autoimmune reactions...."
