If it is too bad, you can always use a pill cutter and cut those bad boys in half. <br /><br />The mild compression ones seem to be helping but not doing it all right now. I may have to move up if these were to stop doing the trick. They do feel really good on, though :)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608073366795491076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2496734312075826009.post-7853921901398728582011-09-15T14:33:36.139-05:002011-09-15T14:33:36.139-05:00I often am forced to wear compression stockings du...I often am forced to wear compression stockings due to the same problem... and like you, I am on the 'water pills' and the HORSE pill chasers... Goodness I hate Potassium!! I HAVE found, however, that I'm not near as likely to choke on them (which I have done MANY times lately) if I take it with a juice instead of with water. <br /><br />I can't wear those kinds of compression socks though....they are not nearly 'strong' enough for my issues. I essentially have venous insufficiency due to sitting at my compter for hours on end... now that I'm up and moving around a bit more, it is a bit better. But trust me, I've even had to be hospitalized for the issues caused by the swelling... and it's the pits! So, Cuz... you have my sympathy! I know your struggles... I wish I could only wear mild compression socks... and have success. The ones with more compression are much more expensive! :(Dorinoreply@blogger.com
