@lapinot thank you!!

@dawn16 Thank you, I appreciate it!

@princev79 My first pullup took me about a month of dedicated training. Every other day or so I did a few negatives (once I stopped getting bad DOMS from them), plus scapular pullups most of those days. I was doing resistance training (Caroline Girvan's) a few times a week at the same time...

@dawn16 Thank you :)

@godislove32 Thank you!! So happy to hear that he’s found ways to manage his symptoms too (lifting isn’t everyone’s cup of tea for sure). For me, biologics were life-changing - I’ve been on cycles of one called Simponi for the past 4 years :)

@bleubirdz Thank you! I get you, small steady progress is what’s sustainable. But eventually you also get to look back and realise it added up to something way bigger :) I hope you find something that works for you - your QOL over all else! To me, fitness progress is just one facet of that.

@kolibri Thank you so much!

@threads317 Thank you!

@selvarajan_m2000 Made my day, thank you :)

@carltonh I'm glad to hear that lifting has helped you too! It can be so confusing, what people/general info out there/doctors say to do or not to do... Being willing to trial-and-error till you find something that works can be so rewarding though! And thank you so much!! I dedicated quite a...

@dawn16 I was feeling very apprehensive about posting this, but you make me glad I did - thank you for your words and for seeing me so kindly :) I spent a lot of time feeling sorry for myself (which is a reasonable response in many circumstances, not just mine) and occasionally still do, but...
