It’s the guilt that gets me. Self imposed guilt. The knowledge that exercise is the only thing to slow the symptoms makes it even harder to lighten up, skip a class or just slob out when the effort seems too great. Guilt and fear that if I stop, total immobility will set in and I’ll lose the will and the means to live.

Any suggestions, Emma?

You go girl! Say it again, louder! I have rheumatoid arthritis along with P.D and getting too tired is dangerous. I'm also nearly 75 yrs old. Going grocery shopping is exercise for me. Believe me, I would love to walk everywhere like I did in my 20's and 30's , I really just cant.
