Can PMR (Polymyalgia Rheumatica) be induced by vaccine?

Posted by kristem2020 @kristem2020, Jan 2, 2021

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?

Your experience seems to mirror mine--got PMR after my 2nd COVID vaccination. No rise in inflammatory markers, so took 4 months to diagnose. I guess I just had a mild case because I only hurt while laying in bed! I was off 10 mg. of prednisone within about a year. BTW, I also eat a whole foods, organic diet, high in antiinflammatory foods. This may have helped me a lot.

Thanks for the info! I remain hopeful that the tapering will go according to plan and I'll be rid of it....
