Debbie Rose Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Since I have been told to wear compression clothes I finally started wearing them....And WOW !!! What a difference for me!! I wear long sleeve top and long leg bottoms on bad days. On better days or very hot days I wear capri bottoms and short sleeve or tank tops. I was able to garden this spring for the first time in 10 years! Basically I can move around standing, kneeling and squatting to garden for about 2 hours which allows me to do alot. Then I rest for a few hours and can get another 2 hour session in. And I can do some shopping now-as long as it isn't more than an hour or so of standing. And I feel better too. That along with sudafed and I can feel more normal for a few hours each day! Really great for me. Even when I am indoors doing chores I will wear compression clothes, and on bad days I at least knee highs and recline alot Hope this is helpful to others Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahA33 Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Great news, Debbie! I'm glad you've found a combo that works so well for you. Have you thought of trying out an abdominal binder also? I have a friend with POTS who uses her binder in the morning when her symptoms are at her worst and switches to compression stockings by early afternoon.
