Isn't is amazing that when one keeps his/her mind off of pain, it seems to be

gone. When I teach, I am so involved in what I do and so busy relating to the

kiddies, that by the end of the day, I realize I'd forgotten all about it and I

feel fine. It's great therapy. But I must admit, I do not have the colossal

flare-ups nor the pain some of you are experiencing; I do have a high tolerance

for pain, and so far, I never had to take any pain medication. Let's hope this

lasts for a while.

Thanks a.

I exercise every day. I do intense water exercises in my pool just

about every day.

I practice yoga and use every opportunity I can to include exercise.

If I'm standing

at the sink I'll incorporate exercise into it. Cleaning is done by

moving to music which

keeps my mind off of pain and helps me focus on the music instead. If

anyone was

watching me they'd think I'm nuts LOL!

Exercise for me, is better than any prescription any doctor has ever

written in my 25 year

history of having RA. Days when I get out of bed feeling rotten, I

get in the hot tub

and do gentle range of motion exercises and stretches. A bad start

will turn into a good

day by doing this. I wish everyone had access to water for therapy.

It has dramatically

cut down on the medication I take.

It is common for people with RA to stop exercising because of pain. I

didn't exercise as much as

I should have for many years but am now in a good routine. For me,

not exercising

causes more pain and stiffness. It hurts when I first start, but

after a few minutes of gentle exercise,

the pain decreases. When I first started swimming in my pool, I

couldn't make it across ONCE and

now I can do 10 laps. I encourage everyone to find a way to exercise

in some way that works

for their situation.
