Psoriatic Arthritis. It's not just the joints that it affects, it attacks the tendons as well, so combined with hypermobility, I'm very likely to end up with a severe injury from such strenuous activities as putting on a pair of trainers or standing up. In the process of travelling from the house to the gym, I can be fine, take one step exactly the same as the others, and my knee, ankle, foot, hip, etc, can just suddenly start hurting and I can barely make it back indoors.
If I can get there, I'm usually pretty good, as long as I've prepared for both gym and pool, because I can take whatever option is less painful.
Add to that post-infection symptoms, so I'm out of breath, my heart is pounding and I'm dizzy from going upstairs - I'm not exercising for a while.
FFS, this bastarding virus has meant I'm exhausted after running an electric shaver over my legs. And there is no way I'd be going anywhere near a gym once they reopen with flaking, hairy legs - which means that, as it is too risky in terms of injury from PsA to exercise outside a controlled environment and range of motion (free weights and squats are absolutely Not Allowed), I am going to be back at square one in terms of health and fitness.
