I have sjogren's and systemic sclerodermatitis. I have been told to do some exercises as these may help stretch connective tissues and alleviate some stiffness in scleroderma. With sjogren's, i just feel exhausted most of the time and I wonder if doing some exercises could help or aggravate my exhaustion. Is there anyone out there who could point out to me what exercises best suit me? Thank you and hope to hear back from you...

I highly recommend something low impact like cycling.

I have the same and I feel really tired all the time, but I have been told to start going swimming again and light excersie like walking etc. I tried going back to my Zumba but it left me really dry in the mouth and I struggled to keep up. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Mandy

My husband coaxed me in to trying to take a 30 to 20 min. walk each day. He and I both noticed I seem to have more energy and feel better overall. I noticed hills cause pain so I try to stay on a level area. I also try to breathe deep and enjoy my surroundings doing this seems to add to my sense of well being. I walk at a comfortable pace and try to relax. I also try to go when the weather is cool so I don't get overheated then have a piece of fruit and glass of water when I'm done to recharge a little.
Feel better,
Sally

I will say that when I'm not experiencing a flareup the exercises that I do really help me, I have so much more energy. However during a flareup period, I really do not do anything.
As for which exercises best suits you, really only you and your medical personal can advise
