Default Sjogren's

I suffer from Sjogren's secondary to Rheumatoid Arthritis. The Sjogren's and the Rheumatoid are both sero negative. Well they were in 2006. My Rheumatoid has since become positive unless controlled. I have neuropathy from the Sjogren's. I also moderate a Sjogren's forum at www.sjogrensworld.org

I think it is imperative to keep moving. I have recently experienced multiple stress fractures in my sacrum, ankle, back and pelvic area. I have used crutches since this began and was able to use my walker then stop using the walker and was able to walk until the pelvis fractured. But I am still using crutches and have not gone to the wheelchair because I think it is so important to keep as many muscles as strong as possible. I will start physical therapy as soon as the doctors think the breaks are healed enough. I think it's important to keep going and to do as much as you can, but to pace yourself.

When I am able to have the physical therapy and get going again, I'll start the water therapy at the local YMCA.
