Rheumatoid arthritis can make activities more difficult to
accomplish. It can cause severe fatigue and pain. RA can also
complicate how you manage to divvy up your time each day, much less
find time to exercise or stay physically active.

therapists tell us to do. Stop before you wear yourself out or cause
physical injury. Don’t overdo it.
Sounds good to me.
