I don’t really remember, but I’ve been following it a long time (without commenting 😊—I’m Nancy, BTW). My husband was at Mayo’s in Rochester a couple of months before he died six years ago, & it seems like I’ve been getting health notices from Mayo ever since. I must have seen “PMR” mentioned in a headline somewhere & followed it, since no one I know (other than doctors, & I’m not sure about all of them!!) has ever heard of it. My doctors have also recommended compression socks, & I have a dozen pairs, I suppose, but I struggle so much to get them on that it doesn’t seem worth it—especially, in the summer (I live in Chattanooga & the heat index has regularly been around 107.5 lately). I appreciate the blog more than I can say, & though I’m sorry to hear about others who are suffering, I can literally FEEL THEIR PAIN!! And, in some perverse way, it’s reassuring to know I’m not alone and to hear how others are dealing with this. Thank you!😊

Hi Nancy, I struggled with the compression socks myself and found out that I can order ones with zippers on the side through Amazon and it has made a big difference for me...threw all my old ones away. Now I no longer struggle to put the compression socks on.
