These posts are so helpful. I have been off of prednisone now since January, and feeling really amazing. I wanted to strengthen up a bit and went to physical therapist who gave me some exercises to do. They helped for a week or two and then suddenly I went into a flareup. I backed off and things settled down so started back again, very gently, but went into a flare up. I had been doing some very gentle stretches before that with no negative affects so I went back to those and oh my, my body loves it! If I'm allowed to, I would like to suggest Justin Agustin (on FB and YouTube. He has been a lifesaver, especially for those of us of a certain age who want to stay "in the flow". When my body is feeling tight and scared, I put on Harry Styles and dance my little buns off around the house. 79 and caused the Amazon delivery man a few laughs!
