My GP has asked me to find a supplier/product no. for the sort of compression garments recommended for orthostatic intolerance for when I go into the surgery next week to be properly tested and measured. In what I've read about CFS/OI, waist-high compression tights are recommended.
So far, I've only been able to find knee-high or thigh-high compression stockings in the Jobst range, at least in the UK.
Does anyone know of a waist-high compression garment and can tell me the make and maybe give me a weblink? Even if it's sold in the US there may well be a UK supplier. Or do people generally wear the thigh-high compression stockings and an abdominal corset? If so, who makes the corsets?
I'd be interested to hear about people's experience with these compression garments and whether you feel they have been helpful.
