Can some one give me some advises?

1) make it sense to run when there is no pain or it will influence the desease negatively

2)  I take mtx and I feel already a huge improvement. It seems that with this desease we need to take at least 6 months the mtx to have a remission. Is it better to wait the remission to re start the jogging ?

3) any other advice on how to train to reduce the risk of having an injury ?

Many thanks.

First of all I congratulate on your English. My first language is English and Spanish my second.

Swimming, walking and kayaking are my main forms of exercise and I believe that is part of the reason I am in Methotrexate induced remission. I have mild aches, but have not had a flare in 4 years.  I eat well and watch my weight.  I take 15mg (6pills) of Methotrexate once a week and 1 mg of Folic Acid daily. 

I am not an expert on exercise, but have exercised regularly all my life.  At times, I have overdone it, but feel that it never caused any harm to me.  Last year I did a 9 mile hike in the mountains and only had sore thigh muscles for a couple of days.

My older brother was attacked by RA 2 years ago and with lots of medication, regular walking and goal setting, he just walked a marathon in 7.5 hours.  I am 64 and he is 70.  This summer he will walk 100 miles in 7 days to celebrate his 7th year.  i may do 50! 

Keep moving!  My mother quit moving and was in a walker at 61 and I refuse to let that happen!  I am off to meet a friend for a long walk on the beach.

Hope to read about your exercise routine.   Susan

I happy to hear that you don't have any problem anymore with your feet.

Actually I make more than jogging during the week.

2 hours race bike and 3 hours mountain bike but I like jogging and for the time being my feet are so painful that I have difficulties to walk. The fact to hear that you and your brother can walk so much is encouraging me.

For the time being I take 10 mg/week of MTX, 10 mg of folic acid and some vitamin D. I see an improvement but very slowly (too slowly!).

I really hope that you will stay very long in remission.

I have also psoriasis but very local (1 elbow and a bit in the scalp).

I can not run because in one of my ankle is like I have tendonitis.

Did you had the same ? How long did you get MTX and how long both medicine before having remission?

10 mg a week of MTX is really a small dose.  I take 15 mg and that is a standard dose.  I have been on MTX for about 18 years and I can't remember how long it took to get the most benefit.  I still had a couple hot spots which didn't go away until I added Enbrel.  The remission happened on the same day I took my first shot!  It was amazing.   I actually was taking Arava instead of MTX at the time but I got the PPP during that time so I had to go back to MTX which cleared up the PPP.  Starshine

Si, es posible un discussion en espanol.  Pero, mi espanol es limitado!  Pone discussione nuevo en la lista.  La semana pasado andado quice milas.  Seis jueves por la playa, seis en domingo, y quatro con una amiga en Miercoles.. Ejercecio, un dieta bueno, medicina, y duermo suficientees muy importante. 

Este practica es bueno para mi.
