Can people with Palindromic Rheumatism work? What kind of work can they perform?

This is down to rach individual as PR sufferers can have such a wide veriety of ailments and symptoms,but the one Fact is you most definstly have to slow down!! Listen to your body and dont over do anything for anyone as only you will suffer days after. I have found this one if the hardest adjustments as i had a very very active life,business,sports,diy,social......and unfortunatly for me i had to stop everything at once.its only now 3yrs on im starting to know what i can do and how long for,but all of my active life had to stop.aggresive physical work and long hours is a definate no no. Start small and work your way to a comfortable level of any job that you enjoy doing. Write a list of hobbies and things you like to do and try them out little at a time,so you dont focus on what you ate no longer able to do,untill you find this balance you will feel like soul destroyed.

Yes, most people can still work normally with treatment. I would advise caution if your job involves a lot of physical activity, but otherwise most people should be able to work. It will be more challenging to work during flares, but if you're on a good treatment plan it is manageable. If you do happen to have more severe flares or if your condition ends up evolving into RA, you might have more difficulty working.

From others I've talked to, the difficulties we do have working tend to involve lots of standing, walking around, or carrying things during flares.
