@glendal I'm sorry to hear about stiffness and lack of mobility days. Have you noticed if anything helps improve your bad days? Like a heating pad, a nap, the food you eat. the outside temperature, etc.?

I experience the awful stiffness - no pain or lack of sleep. Some days are worse than others but it’s always there. I just have to pace myself with small activities. I do find ibuprofen helps sometimes.

Yes to all of the above ie. exercise, heating pad, even TENS machine helps. When I am up to it. i fear the winter weather inhibits me. My mobility is poor due to the stiffness and I have fallen twice that put me back to months, and now fear has crept in.
