I’m doing okish. So missing aqua fit. I’ve been trying to keep fit by walking three miles everyday over the Heath which is virtually deserted. But today my joints are on fire 🔥. I’m in a lot of pain & cant take painkillers, my own fault I know. Feel like a caged animal stuck indoors.

Tonight we have a slot booked to do a virtual quiz with the family as they are all highly competitive I can see a few laptops 💻 being thrown!! Keep safe everyone

Yes, I’d forgotten about baths I shower. Good idea 👍

Damned if you do damned if you don’t.... I can never get the balance for exercise right... know how you feel. I’m the same today ankles and Achilles on fire 🔥 Epsom salts bath for me may ease it. Rest days for us both

I’m finding it so difficult to stay in. Will have a very short walk when my feet ease up.

It's always a fine balance with us at the best of times having RD andany of it's associates exercising and not overdoing it, or paying for it later, but when we are now restricted it can mean we might over do it as it may be our only chance. What a lovely dog you have, looks like a good walkies going on there! Rest up caza and I hope your pain eases ready for what sounds like some fun, a family quiz sound brilliant to me.... enjoy! Sending my best wishes x

Yes that’s what I’ve been thinking must get out today as tomorrow we might not be allowed.

It isn’t my dog it’s my sons. I have had two of them, they’re great dogs.

Tonight should be fun.

I'm missing my Aquafit too - especially since I couldn't go for the last 2 weeks before the lock down because of a flare. Now I'm coming out of that but....

Have you tried Tai Chi for RA? It's very good for balance and actually works the muscles harder than you might imagine but is very gentle on the joints. I had lessons but it's easy to learn from the DVD or there might be YouTube videos.

Not what you're looking for?
