Hi @arpie. Hello! Hope you're well! You're right - Kristen's info is amazing. I've copied it into my notebook so I don't lose it. I'm having monthly sessions with a lymph specialist and there are no signs of problems yet. I am also doing quite a bit of work on my overall lymph system (which needs work!) and I was hoping that the compression garments would help support that process and I'm sure I'll now find something suitable.

I also think general lymph health is something that we should also pay attention to, and trying to learn about that has been an extensive series of rabbit holes! Still not sure I'm on the right track!
Thanks everyone for your input!
