Yes, Im convinced that doing everything I could really helped me. Particularly working out in the pool, which is a heated, saltwater pool with a max depth of about 5.5 feet. Very helpful. However my rheum wanted me doing weight bearing exercises....but Dr Rheum strongly encourages doing "all the things" in addition to the meds. Im on a low dose of Prednisone and Kevzara. If you thought Prednisone was a game changer, I hope you get my response to Kevzara. If I had to choose between them, Kevzara would win.
Good luck to you.
