I'm 70 and have never had R.A. but I agree with those who have mentioned exercise as being very beneficial. Now I'd like to go one step further and mention diet. There are foods that promote inflammation so why not try eliminating such foods? There's a book: "The Anti-Inflammation Diet"
There's another good book that tells how to maintain a good pH balance. The title is: "The pH Miracle" by Robert O Young.
There will likely be some overlap: I believe both books will tell you that sugar is the worst culprit.
Good luck,
John
