Ok, BBC news under the section of Health is talking about a skin tight suit that looks like a compression body suit. It has 2 way elastic and holds in the muscles etc so astronuats don't wreck havoc on their bodies in space.

Developers of the suit are looking at ways to use the suit on earth for bedridden people/MS etc.

I understand we need a special type of compression for LE but couldn't they develop something like this for us LE'rs.

Just a shot in the dark but I did find it interesting.Winking

     This made me smile, hugz. 

    Preferably in the winter, tho. If we have to survive another polar vortex next winter, I'm all in. 

    The thought of having to wear something like this in the summer ... 

    Maybe we can get them in cool colors for our LE Olympics?

    hugz - On a serious note, you would think if they could come up with something like this … they could come up with something to help us lymphers.  Maddening.
