I love to lift and do yoga.

I’m tired of seeing, just start using weights for better health! too vague. And then I feel like a truck hit me after doing a simple 60 minute yoga session with ppl who are my moms age or older. AURGH!

I'm on pain meds anxiety meds n gabapentin for the numbness n tingling.

Since it is so important for us to exercise with this illness I was wondering: What kind of exercises do you do? (Ex: yoga, tai chi, etc)

It is known as thickening of the skin. It affects the hands or feet or both. Basically, the palms of my hands are calloused. My fingers are swollen. When I get a bad flare up (which is where this all began) it is extremely painful. My fingers don't resemble mine at all. The tips hurt a lot, and hot water is unbearable.

I am so baffled by this. Both ankles hurt on the inside of the leg, extending into the arch and sometimes up the calf.

As usual, research is often conflicting on this so I wondered what people's experiences are.

NHS recommends aerobic especially swimming. My gps have always encouraged aerobic exercise too. Now personally, before I even knew what I had I felt like dying after any aerobic exercise for days and weeks after.
