I couldn't agree more with @A MyLupusTeam Member walking and swimming are the best for chronic pain. For me it's been walking. I've always been a walker because I've always had Dawgs! Now I find it helps with my pain, helps to keep my joints 'lubed' up and lifts my spirits more than anything else. I recommend walking as far as you're able and as often as you can, I think you'll find its a game changer. 😊

If you already have a good diet and eat healthy foods I've found that the least painful way to lose weight is portion control. Eat what you normally eat but less of it and cut out snacking unless it's fruit or vegetables. Being on Prednisone can be challenging when it comes to dieting but it is possible to lose if you can stick with it. Good luck!
