I bought that and still have problems putting on my compression socks. A skinny guy makes it look so easy but it should be a much bigger person doing the demonstration without practice , like when you do it for the first time.
My husband can easily put his on using just rubber grip gloves and a rubber mat he slides his heal over to get it tightly over his foot. He sits in a chair and gets the sock on his foot first, then pulls it up with gloves and skidding foot on mat. This saved me from helping him daily. I dont have to pull it off at night though. The compression stock stor charged us $38 for the mat though! We also bought a sleve that is like this device on yhe video but had 2 rope handles to pull sock on. Husband found he can do it without using that.
I asked Leslyn about the gallbladder in the same interview. Here is the clip. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-h403DcLOHWM.htmlsi=FrvKERWDM_u4-Uqm
On keto i got extremely swollen hands in sauna, idk what was the cause, it went away when i switched back to sugary food. Keto was a great thing that boosted my health though
I have done keto since 2018 and lost 25 lbs. Dec 2019 I started Carnivore almost a year later I have lost no more weight. But I have either been keto or carnivore since then simply to try and not gain. I also have some cystic fibrosis variations. 40-50 % of people with cystic fibrosis become diabetic. A few months ago I did some food testing. I found out I have an intolerance to dairy and eggs. So depressing to not lose and have all these self imposed food restrictions just trying to maintain .
I am starting to believe that my Type II PRIMARY Lymphedema is Cause to my "obesity"! I have witnessed what Lymphedema has done to my mother. If i didnt carry so much xtra fluid.....i would only be overweight
So glad to know about this research. I just went to my chiropractor who went on and on about the lymphatic system. He believes in low protein plant based diet and it's what we are eating. I did not tell him I eat "ketovore." I now have this study in at the ready if he pushes me. He's too good of a chiropractor to leave. :)
Each brand has its own sizing chart. Click on the 3-step sizing chart link on this page for an example. www.selfcaretherapy.com/product/knee-high-compression-sock-medi-plus/
Because the material is so hard theres a possibility of tearing your skin.also i tried one and i have wider feet caused by Charlot Marie Toothe disease. It was impossible to fit my foot in the donner.
Yes, those are things to consider. The device comes in different sizes but it is based on calf size. I have seen that happen as well that the foot is actually wider than the calf. You can try a larger size but it will probably be more difficult to load as the garment would need to stretch out more. For someone with good grip strength that may work. Especially if using rubber gloves. This device does not work for everyone but it does work for some.
@Selfcaretherapy ty for answering .I did try the larger one but still have the problems .yes it's true most can have very good results with the device it looked very helpful but unfortunately I have a bad disease which causes many problems.also because of the charlot my ankles are fixed.i use the cloth 3finger Donner. My goal was too add a suggestion so maybe in the future these concerns can be looked at .I gave the Donner to the wound clinic to pass it on . A wonderful product and so refreshing we have technology to help .. Sue
Why do all the adverts for compression stockings show young people putting them on and off instead of senior's with mobility issues manage on their own
Thank you for this video. I tried every possible diet to lose weight and to help with lipedema, even keto. I have not been having sugar, carbs for many years and for last 1 months off veg and fruit now. Still no weight loss. I have lipedema, fibromyalgia, flat feet and varicose vein’s operated on but have swelling and pain now, diabetes 2(which is amazingly under control with meds and change of eating for first time in years) NAFLD reversed. I take tons of supplements, find compression garments so difficult to use as I enjoy loose clothing, I have compression machine, massage gun and not so faithful with brushing nd home self care. I wish there was an easier way to help this condition. Top it all our medical aids doesn’t cover treatment .
Yes plant based heavy on the fruit. Keto is harder to stick to. You need the vitamins and minerals from the fruit. I've done really well I cannot believe the difference in my breast and arms
thank you for telling us to measure when it's not swellen or when getting up in the morning. Most other i've looked at didn't mention this, so I had to search further until I found you site ! Thank you!
