Compression Stockings

Hello Rich.
Compression stockings do wonders for me, especially if I know I'm going to be on my feet all day. I love them and think they're really comfortable.
In addition, since you've had CHF for 7 years, I imagine that you're already taking a diuretic (water pill) like Lasix or one of its many generic names. I'd consult my doctor about that one.
I hate the weight gain from not moving so I would encourage getting out and walking. I live in Michigan in the US and we're already getting snow but I don my heavy coat and pants, and get outside no matter what. The minute I don't get my daily steps in, that's when I put on the pounds. I feel so much better when I'm moving about and when I'm lighter.
