Maybe have a vascular /cardiologist look at her legs?? I have severe venous pooling. I am only 44 and no where near being overweight. I wear graduated compression waist high hose, elevate my legs, ect. The hose are over $100 a pair and need a prescription. They are not support hose. Soooooo........if u are uncomfortable get another opinion. nancy m Sue Weiler wrote: > Please Paula tell us all more. > Sue > > > At 11:44 AM 1/28/2003 -0500, you wrote: > >> Dear Kim, >> I am a 49 year old female who was diagnosed with PD when I was >> 37.
