Being a terrible manager of stress I can assure you it can definitely cause physical consequences. I don't know about your situation but stress could be considered a contributor to many illnesses/maladies.

Someone on FB is posting a Big Boy a day for the next 25 days, figured I might as well repost here, starting off with UP 4001.
Here is a classic picture from the Otto Perry collection in the Denver Public Library: "Eastbound freight train, on bridge; 73 cars, 5 MPH. Photographed: near Green River, Wyo., November 29, 1941". The first year of service for many of the class.

Would eliminating stress or dealing with it more effectively help your joints? I have no answer.

He'd presumably get faster too. But not as much as the pair.
Did you watch the video? The two guys were hardly a well-oiled machine.

During my older son's "Obsessed With Trains" phase, he and I flew up to Portland to spend a day riding a Union Pacific excursion, pulled by what was then the biggest still-operating steam locomotive, Challenger #3985 . That was BIG! Since then, UP restored one of the Big Boys, #4014 , which makes me happy.
Nice! I never saw the Challenger in Portland. Just the SP 4449 Daylight and the Spokane, Portland & Seattle 700.
Last year we followed UP 4014 and 844 from Rock Springs, WY to Cheyenne. It was quite a trip!

Some things, yes. Doctors have told me other things were stress related and I believed them but can't prove it helped. One time I had chest pains and was really freaking out and the doc told me my heart was fine and to go ride my bike. Just hearing that made me feel so much better.
20ish years ago I had a bout with BPH and the doc told me stress has a profound effect on that. I noticed every time I would get stressed the pain would come back.
And of course my ulcer and digestive system issues are simple to show correlation.
Like I said, I'm not good at managing stress but since I have retired I have less to stress out over.
Am I oversharing again? I could go on....

Why not?
Have you informed GCN of your findings?

The internet guy said he would be by at 1 PM to re-calibrate the receiver on the roof. We figured if he made it before dark, he would be doing well. I have never run across someone so out of touch with schedules. Once he told me he would be over in ten minutes. It was four hours, and he didn't notice the discrepancy. He has not yet arrived.

Because the TTer was presented as knowing how to ride the bike, so efficiency gains would be minimal.
Why bother? Is GCN going to take down the video and do one that makes a scientifically sound comparison?

Hoo boy. I just pulled up the "notes" from the appointment on the patient portal, from the nurse:
Reality: I go in and see yet another new nurse. This one is literally new to the group--she's not even on the website. I googled her and didn't find much, but I don't think she was in rheumatology before.
She comes in and asks these general questions because she's never seen me before. No idea what my arthritis is like. She gets my dosage wrong. Asks me if I want more MTX (even though I'm pretty sure I'm taking the maximum recommended amount). Asks if I exercise (SMH). When I tell her the drug effects don't last the full six weeks she asks me if I want to switch to something else. Am I a doctor? Why am I here?
I was planning on asking this anyway, but the appointment painfully illustrated the problem. So I ask "wut is going on here? Why have I not seen the actual doctor in a year? Why do I keep seeing new people every time? When there's no continuity of care I waste most of the appointment time rehashing all the basic stuff."
She tried to tell me that whoever saw me would be asking the same questions anyway.
"Do you exercise?" SMH
Anyway, after my complaining the doctor came into the infusion room, looked at my joints for a minute, and kind of apologized that I hadn't seen him earlier this year. He tried to blame it on COVID.
I'm still not going to see him until January.
