@JosephineO Breathlessness, I get so out of breath, wheezing and gasping when trying to do the slightest thing, it would be so nice to do the things I used to without having to stop and recover every few minutes.

The pain drives me nuts and being able to walk without pain. Take painkillers don't work.

I would definitely get rid of my low energy relating to rheumatoid arthritis.    It’s awful. It’ stops you being able to do most daily tasks. And makes you feel useless.
