Covid vaccination results

[Ronswife]

I have had puffy hands and very tired since my second covid vaccination. Taking more prednisone tk counterbalance. Isn't this a side effect .of reactivation the already overactive immune system.? Will this struggle never prove? I'm going 5 years.

Well I joined the PMR club oct 2015 and got pred in March 2016. I am lucky I am down to 1 mg. Every time I try to reduce to half per day I feel worse - achy and stiffer. Perhaps I have turned into a wimp.

Not sure I would take more pred because of a vaccine reaction - does it help? How long is it since the second jab?

Its over a week since my second jab on the 10th so 9 days today.
