Hello, this could be a strange request. i have RA and an on mtx, steriods and Enbrel injections, find it difficult to exercise my stomach, which is getting bigger Ha HA.
I have a wedding to go to, so to look better in my dress bought a slendertone belt?
My joints have got a little worse? could be a coincadence
i know it stimulates the mucsles so could it stimulate the joints aswell???????
otherwise i will have to look pregnant Ha Ha
I DO HATE this disease

I am hopeing that it is a mini flare up and nothing more. Am really looking forward to the day, bought a lovely dress, which would look better with a slightly flatter tummy Ha Ha
Just out of interest, what sort of exercise do most of you do? I walk my dogs but find any other exercise a bit too much and suffer the next day!

Hi Gill,
have a rest for a few days from the slendertone whatsit (I looked it up online.) Since it makes your muscles contract - it could easily make your muscles really ache, especially if you are not used to exercising that part of the body. Then you could try just a few mins on a low setting. If no ill affects gradually increase time/intensity.
My sister had trouble with her tummy for awhile and she bought a couple of underwear garments that helped flattened the bulge - maybe that is another option?
Have a lovely time at the wedding and I bet you look lovely.

Hi Gill
Thanks for your posting.
Youcould see a physio (via a doctors referall or privately) to give you some exercises specifically for your stomach.
For information on exercise you can see our booklet called 'Exercise and Arthritis' at http://www.arthritiscare.org.uk/PublicationsandResources/Listedbytype/Booklets.
It is worth speaking to your rheumatology nurse (if you have one) and mention that your joints feel sorer. It could be to do with a flare up.
I hope this information is useful to you.
You are welcome to call our helplines on 0808 800 4050, if you would like to have a confidential chat about your condition.
Regards
Nick

Hi Gill No dont use it for joint!!!! its a muscle toner only!
Get some fat pants from M&S they are great! but difficult to use if you have hand problems! (when you then would require the help of a very good friend)! good luck hope I wasnt too late for the wedding! CB[/i]0
