[Guest guest]

It is just a light gadget which is hung on a door

while working out. This gadget is for working out

hand, leg and fingers.

Good luck

some days I can exercise - some days I can barely move. This week is good so far - last week was horrible. Weight is up 25 lbs since starting prednisone - seem to be holding to that but I'm quite overweight to begin with. I have a gazelle that's in front of the tv - so I get on that when I can.

little or walk in a pool, but so far no luck. But I know a lot of members on the group *are* able to exercise...

that's where I'm lucky - the ra has barely touched my hips - only once in awhile I hurt in them - some feeling of 'dislocating'. I had a similar unit by nordic track that was so stiff that it was too hard for me - but at the lowest setting - the gazelle is good for me. Helen P.
