Your rheumatologist sounds on the ball. You don’t have to have crazy high antibodies to have high symptoms. Mild to moderate exercise is good,BUT- don’t overdo it. I find the hardest things for people to understand is the difference between tiredness and fatigue (the car isn’t LOW on gas: there is NO gas, it’s incurable but treatable, and that it’s your immune system being Overreactive and attacking your own body for no definitively known reason. Don’t let anyone fill your ears with health nut or conspiracy theory bullshit. Best of luck. Contact me if you wish to.
