Ever since experiencing a Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) almost 20 years ago, I’ve been researching venous disorders such as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and the medical copmpression socks that can be worn to help keep me alive for (hopefully) another 20 years. Confusing products, these socks and stockings are. With so many brands (top brands being Sigvaris, Jobst, Mediven, and Juzo) and with ultra-confusing sizing charts and systems, I’m here to help sort through the mess and get to the right products for you. I entered this industry 18 years ago and have amassed LOADS of experience and education. The fact is… MOST people should be wearing compression products and I hope to help you to understand why. I’m happy to be alive, having survived something that easily could have taken my life. Please, I urge you to use my knowledge and experience to help yourself. To me, that’s what it’s all about – helping others.
