Well, one thing that I have found with disease is your limits! My rhume. suggested Yoga only...and I understand why. It's all my body could take. It's really hard some days but I make myself do it and I have to say that I do feel better when I get through it. I got the Better Belly Yoga DVD from Prevention. I live in a small town so doing it at home is much more convenient not to mention I like the privacy. Try it, it might just work for you too, but I suggest asking your doctor first before you decide on anything. Best of luck to you.

i just found io had lupus i have`spent days in my bed.i dont have much muscle left in my legs so i cant stand on my pwn and today a nurse put me on the floor and put me into basic yogo positions and i can say tonight i have legs not just logs that are in pain. i use to do yoga and dance before i got sick.now i look forward to getting my legs stronger and getting back to it

Lack of muscle strength is one of my most disturbing symptoms besides the memory confusion. I did not know Lupus affects the muscles.

I do best when I can get to the arthritis pool. This is a no weight bearing exercise and it really helps me relieve my pain without hurting myself. PLUS I love the warm water and the jets.
