I got the COVID vaccine and 5 days later developed stiff, weak hands and weakness plus tiredness in forearms/tendons. Doc says could be from vaccine because it is bilateral and timed with vaccine. Was placed on steroids and symptoms improved but still have some weakness/easily fatigued grip.
I have hashimotos and read that RA often accompanies this. Just looking for some input support. Doc is doing a complete autoimmune work up one week after I come off the steroids.
I also am heavily fatigued. I had loss of appetite but that is resolved.
