i know we are supposed to keep on moving but i get very tired...especially during the summer. it is so dang hot and humid here and that makes me tired and i swear my arthritis gets worse.

Yes and I pay for it dearly! There are times that I just camp out on the couch for a day and then the next day I can barely walk without my back spasming on me. So I try to avoid that if possible and regardless if I am tired, I get up and moving even if it's just to the kitchen to get some water or the bathroom. Rest is good but limited rest seems better for OA I guess.
