Try resistance bands I have RA too , blessings

Me too. Jumping on trampolines really helps me a LOT! I was very surprised when I just took my kids to a trampoline park and jumped with them. Not only did I feel good after that, I felt great the next day! I wouldn't jump at while not on a trampoline, but on one is great!

Maybe you could try the carnivore diet minimal for 1 month. Best for 3 months. It helps me a lot. Doing it for 6 months now. I'm 65 years.

I have it in my hands neck knees and feet. Very difficult to work around. I found mike mentzer ideal routine helped me because its low volume with allot of recovery

Yes, it really is..

Yep

I have this disease and I exercise every day, lifting weights. Are there specific weights for weights?

I’m going through the same thing, I was a regular gym goer. Now I can’t even do a push up. Only a month and a half ago I was doing 100 pushups, now I’ve lost all my gains. I really feel like shit.

I am 54 and had RA at 12. It was terrible but I outgrew it. I am now experiencing some hip and toe pain and fingers too. I am trying to lose a few pounds to take pressure off my joints. I wish you all the best. ❤

I was born with it. Fingers have always been deformed. Limited mobility. But I’ve played every sport, and lift everyday. I feel big muscles take the eyes away from my ugly hands lol

oh same with me I was diagnosed at 26 and I am 42 now. I have done really well, but I use the embrel injection and the pain disappear from 10 to 1

I was diagnosed two years ago and I’m trying to get back into the gym on a regular basis after a 6-week Hail Mary in PT to try & curb the need for a shoulder surgery. I just hit 50lbs on the rowing machines for the first time and I woke up the next day feeling like I got hit by a truck 💀

Same exact boat

Bodyweight exercise and recovery recovery recovery. I was very strong intil my mid 40's when my neck hands and knees started hurting. I have to use straight arm pull downs and pec deck for upper body. Gripping is hell. I can't do push ups because of my neck. Luckily I can stil squat woth reasonable intensity. Hang in there you can work around it.

Same situation here. I'm 47 years old. Weight training since college. I have to agree with age, you definitely experience more flare ups and they become more aggressive. The pain and fatique becomes crippling. I'm lucky if can accomplish my most basic mom responsibilities and clean the house. I have developed multiple autoimmune diseases with age as well. All this despite my best efforts following an Aip diet, exercising, therapy, and medication. At times, I feel defeated, but I've learned to listen to my body and to stop pushing through the pain. I use to do that all the time not realizing I am adding to the inflammation. I needed a lifestyle change. No longer beat myself up for missing a gym day. One day at a time.....if I feel good and have energy, I'll hit the gym. Other days when joint pain is unbearable, but I have energy, I just move the body and walk. Then you have days/ weeks when dealing with a flare when you just can't move and are fatigued. Rest is key. Listen to your body. Have a plan in place , but allow yourself the flexibility of an unpredictable autoimmune disease. Blessings to all!

I have RA as well and do keto but RA has not gone away. Improved, yes!, but it isn't a miracle diet for everything. I think we do a disservice when we market keto as a miracle diet. IT will solve a heck of ALOT but not all . i love it. I had 99 problems and now have 4! Lol. Love lifting, love keto but RA is still there. I just work through it. And just like her, I go into the gym and am in pain by the end of the session I feel much better. Mozelle- YOU ARE INSPIRING!!!!

Dave Young 🤗

Dave young ...pleeaaaseee! Teach me.

@@nmffnurse hey u should try carnivore its 1 step more than keto. Worth a try if your in slot of pain

@@conormckenna4635 you have responded to me way too late. I'm beyond carnivore. lol. I left that comment a year ago. currently I am raw carnivore. ;)

I admire your determination buddy. How you getting on these days?

@@rhythmstar3275 great tbh, just a lot of school and whatnot, gladly no pain or surgeries to speak of. Thanks for asking, have a great one

Good stuff bro

Hey great to hear that from you ! I have knee arth due to basketball / squats / boxing. I been working out all my life and since my knee arthritis’s started to build up I can’t run or jump like I used to. Your words are an inspiration! Btw, did you manage to run or jump with your hip situation Tony ?

Bro can I text you on insta, I really need your help

How u doing now ?

@@magdnuh9295 perfectly fine. No pain only stiffness mostly in the mornings. Obviously a lot of damage has been done and you cannot reverse that because i was diagnosed in 2004. Sleep on the hard floor to keep my back straight.

Adnan h wish u all the best im just have symptomes from one month just have small joint issue in knees and hips , i will give it a try but this fats in keto dont make flareups ?

@@magdnuh9295 not at all fats are good for u. The science behind it is that our disease comes alive when the klebsiella bacteria multiplies in the colon. And it feeds on starch so when you stop eating starch then there is no disease basically.

Adnan h whats about animal protin and eggs is it going to make flareups ? Thanks

Wow! You are one of the very few people with Still’s disease I’ve heard of (if I can say it like that ). I’ve had it for 14 years now . I was diagnosed in 2006 at the age of 26 and am now doing awful. Over the years I’ve had good and bad seasons ; it used to come and go . The pain has never left but since I’ve learned to live with pain I can still say that I’m having a “good” day even if I’m in pain but sometimes the pain is just debilitating. Unfortunately for me the disease has been taking its toll on me as I age and I’m struggling to function through the day . It’s been more than a year since i had my last flare up but this time , I did not recover as I did before . Instead , the pain is worse every day and new symptoms have appeared (like eczema which is also autoimmune , and other issues ) .I have two children (4 & 7) and I don’t have the energy required to do all the things children their age normally want to do . I feel very very sad and although I sometimes push myself really hard to do 20 minutes low impact workouts at least 3 times a week, I’m feeling more and more exhausted day by day . I’ve been on and off prednisone; I’ve taken methotrexate and leflunomide and was prescribed plaquenil by my rheumatologist but I never started it . I’m tired of all this but I have children 😓. I used to be very very active and I love to cook and to have my house clean and organized but I’m simply too tired every day . Yes, I still cook and clean but I have to make long pauses through the day .

You won't I'm from UK a truck driver I had to quit work e everything, I'm male. Osteoarthritis and mild at the moment rheumatoid. Good luck.

Hey there! I'm with you. I dont have RA but I have severe bone on bone arthritis, and I'm figuring out what I can do vs. not. Its depressing/frustrating 😊

How's it going Jacob? 14 years here

Keep fighting king

❤

Duh

This is a good question. Because RA is progressive a good routine with strengthening the muscles that support your joints will benefit your mobility in the long run, not make your joints worse but you have to do light to moderate strength training and listen to your body

I worry about the same thing. I am a bodybuilder and want to compete because this is my passion. I am 52 years old and have to push myself but I'm I going to regret the damage I have done to my body? I do wrap the joints I have pain in but it still worries me. I'm not ever going to stop because I once weighed 298lbs and I am now 165lbs, 5'3" tall with muscles 💪🥰

I was thinking the same thing.I dropped my carbs to a very low level,and had tremendous improvement with hip,and back pain.There are even people who are carnivores.Animal products only,or close to it.There's a young woman named Mikhaila Peterson who was suffering from devastating RA,and depression.She's now on a carnivore diet,and is feeling much better. L. Amber O'Hearn is another.She's been a carnivore for about nine years,and had remission of her bipolar disorder. Nina Teicholz wrote a book called "The Big Fat Surprise" which showed how the wrong headed campaign against fat was largely due to a very influential man named Ancel Keys who pushed the idea that animal fat clogged human arteries.He published a manipulated study supporting his claims.But it's a sham of selective evidence.There's also the vegetarianism of the Seventh Day Adventists church.They've demonized meat for ages.Teicholz and others have shown that the unstable fats produced from grains,and seeds are a real source of damage.It's very high in PUFA's,and Arachadonic Acid ( Omega 6 ).Which is inflammatory.I've learned a lot from a man named Tucker Goodrich about the omega 6 oils issue.I've heard how Jews who observe kosher food laws tend to use veg oils like Crisco.I don't know if that's accurate.But it can't help if you suffer from RA.I do wish this woman would look up Peterson,O'Hearn,or read Teicholz's book.I'm very impressed with the results I'm seeing from people doing this to improve inflammatory problems.

@ArgentAbendAzure Yes, the Jewish community is specifically targeted by Mazola, Crisco, Wesson, knowing that these laboratory fats are not in conflict with Jewish dietary laws. In my neighborhood in Queens, the local Key Food has a sale on one of the major vegetable oils every single week of the year. I can back this up by citing their weekly circular. I think going to a kosher butcher for lamb fat for cooking would produce results. Adventists. They don't consume alcohol or smoke. If Catholicism(or any religion) banned both drinking and smoking, we'd increase our lifespan too. Adventists are not even a major denomination of Christianity. There's a lot about them that skews the results. Dr. Ted Naiman was raised in that religion and now he's a big meat eater. I think the Carnivore Diet should be a last resort. Simply increase fat and reduce carbs and see what happens. Carbs have health benefits for thyroid, digestion, fighting infections, etc.......Over consumption seems to be the issue. But the gurus ban them instead of arguing over how many grams to eat daily. Easier to do that.

That is one of the worst ways of eating, bad advice. Balanced nutrition plan.

She's Orthodox Jewish and part of Inna's gym so I'm going to guess she is on a kosher diet which impacts her food options. And may offer clues as to what does and doesn't cause autoimmune. I'll bet her fat intake is only about 30%. And I'll bet that if we went to her home we'd find that she cooks with some kind inflammatory industrial seed oil that Mark Sisson warns about. I agree about carnivore or low-carb or Paleo. I don't eat vegetables and get all my nutrients from egg yolks, organ meats, and eat ground beef and chicken(bone-in skin on) and bacon daily for years. I still eat white rice so I don't get skinnier. I'm 5'11 175. This lady would do well eating egg yolks, turkey bacon, limited white rice, and if she's kosher, go to a kosher butcher and ask for lamb fat to replace the supermarket cooking oils.

@@triton827have you even tried it?

A+!! I can't speak for everyone, but my rheumatoid arthritis WAS an autoimmune problem and turned out I had an allergy to milk protein. Completely cured it years before I ever discovered SS and lifting only made me worse. Totally agree on whole food plant based. Been eating that way for years now and it's the best decision I ever made. Had I not been researching diet at the time, I never would have discovered it and I'd be on some pretty serious arthritis meds now which isn't good. In fact, I lived and tried lifting with the pain for so long, years later when I did discover SS after being on whole food plant based it was still too good to be true getting under the bar and squatting almost 300 lbs WITHOUT PAIN. Amazing stuff!

What do you think her diet has been leading up to RA diagnosis?

@@keithbarbaro7590 if i had to take a stab in the dark, it would be either Paleo, Keto, or a "cleaner" version of the SAD...but she is definitely eating animal products of some kind, be it meat or dairy...RA is just inflammation and nothing causes inflammation like animal products, esp. if she has been eating that way her whole life (most people have)...

@@keithbarbaro7590 Who knows for sure but if you're asking me and I had to guess, since the gym owner says she caters mainly to women in an Orthodox Jewish community, I'd have to guess she's eating kosher which is a good start. I myself ate kosher before I went WFPB but obviously that included milk which didn't resolve my personal issues. One way to find out what it is that is causing it is do an elimination diet. Only eliminate one thing at a time and give your body time to heal. It will heal if that was what it was. I did the reverse. I totally eliminated animal products and upon my arthritis slowly disappearing, I wanted to find out what it was, so I added one thing back and gave it time, until I found out what it was. That's how I found out it was dairy products. I can't even eat cheese (my biggest weakness). If she were just to eliminate all animal products and it never went away, I guarantee it's gluten (wheat protein).

@Ryan Finchum She is eating animal products but I'll bet she's eating more plant-based products like cereal grains and is consuming industrial seed oils for fat instead of animal fat. I'll bet if she's getting 80g of fat, 40g are from those oils. And since she's on a kosher diet, we can all agree that pork is not to blame, even though it's been maligned by dietitians and doctors for decades. I seriously doubt Paleo or Keto are the culprits here. She's a mother and wife not a foodie millennial who follows people like Leanne Vogel or Maria Emmerich.
