Hi Lindsey,   Echoing what Lene suggested regarding meditation and yoga (though ditto on her medication advice), I would highly recommend restorative yoga, which is a form of yoga that helps prod the nervous system into its parasympathetic state (ie. the relaxation response) by placing the body in completely supported yoga poses, most of which are laying down, to combat stress, but also pain and other ailments.  The poses involve a lot of props so that your body is 100% supported and your muscles are able to genuinely go into a resting mode, which could help to alleviate some of the pain you are feeling.   When I was first diagnosed with RA and experiencing overall pain and fatigue constantly, it was about the only thing I could do, and I found that it really did help me battle the pain and find some measure of comfort in my body.    If there is not a yoga studio by you that offers these classes, then I would recommend checking out Judith Hanson Lasater's website (http://www.judithlasater.com/about/) and/or book.  She is one of the most well-known and respected teachers of restorative yoga and is also a physical therapist.  I did my training in restorative yoga with her, and she is pretty incredible. On her website, you can also check to see if there is a restorative teacher in your area that you could contact.  If you want to go the do-it-yourself method, her book has good illustrations and instructions on how to set the poses up yourself, though you might need to invest in some props.   On days when I'm feeling too tired to do anything else or having a flare, I pull out my props, turn the lights down, grab a blanket and spend a good 20-30 minutes in one of the restorative poses, and it always manages to make me feel a little bit better.   I hope some of this is helpful. Good luck- Sara
