Dear Agnes, I don't have the answers, but I can't let you go unanswered because we all feel helpless and confused sometimes at this lousy disease. I was in tears this morning when trying unsuccessfully to put on those horrid support stockings for my swollen ankles. You are not alone. I will leave it to others to make suggestions for you. Be patient, I know they are out there and will get back to you because they always do so when I ask for help. This is the place to find friends that understand what you are going through. Hang tight till then.
