To answer your question, this will definitely work for pots patients. That’s the reason I brought these. Because of pots, my legs get achy,heavy,and painful. These compression massagers really helps. Mine came with, heat and compression. These have been a great relief to my legs.

[@pkendlers]

Looking good Christina! Alive is a good look for you. :) Hang in there girl. No more falling, ok? And the moon boots go with your Bowie shirt! ;)

[@laureng8rb]

I would love to see a part 2! I find you so soothing and uplifting and wow did I need some help! You're a real-life angel!!!

[@elygale2001]

I literally went and bought a pair mid video! I have horrible edema from about 6 different surgeries that took such a tool on my body (which you know all about). I have been missing my lymph OT and PT sessions so badly and my arm has been so bad I haVe been feeling hopeless. Thank you. This gives me something to at least try and reminds me not to give up, to keep pushing for the right support for my body so I can have a life. I love your channel and think you are a beautiful person!

[@fianderson9491]

I have Muscular Dystrophy and experiencing odema due to immobility. I've been wanting to buy these on Amazon FOREVER but was concerned they wouldn't work for me and I'd waste my money. Your positive outcome from using the product has convinced me to try it. Thank you! Please could you try arm ones next?

[@EricaRodriguezOMG]

Girl. I can’t relate but I love watching you. You are so articulate and sweet. Please keep sharing your journey.

[@ahoward3819]

You look great! I have all kinds of medical issues, and I don’t think you should feel like you gave to explain your appearance. Fluid or weight gain aside you look fantastic! With all you have been through you are lucky to still be alive. You are still as pretty as ever, inside and out!

[@sheilas1283]

Amanda Howard I think Christina did that because it’s very relevant to the product she’s testing. It’s not real weight gain but fluid. She’s very pretty as I’m sure we can all agree.

[@Its_me--Boo_Radley]

The one time I was hospitalized, I loved the leg squeezers too! They felt comforting to me. On the other hand, my husband has has many surgeries, and he definitely did NOT like them.

[@alex.koplos]

I watched you a lot in highschool and its really nice to see a familiar face rn. I hope you are staying sane and happy during this time. You have always been so incredibly positive no matter what. You inspire me. 🥰😍

[@Alaxl]

I love this review!! I've always struggled with excess fluid in my legs, no matter what weight I was. One little tip is to prop your legs up during the treatment -- that will give you a little extra bang for your buck! Thanks so much for posting. It's really nice to see you again! :)

[@MathIsMagical]

Those leg squeezers sound like my heated blanket plus my weighted blanket which equals heaven.

[@itzamunguia2107]

I clicked so fast to watch your video...lol.....so glad you were able to find something that helps....and yesss to part two

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

I’m over the moon to hear about such spectacular results, darling. Go for the arms too! xxxxxxxxxxx

[@ChucknRachelN]

Oh yes please make a part 2!! I have missed your videos. So glad you are back with the content and on the mend again. I hope you have great success with the compression stuff. You might try a hand held massager or maybe your mom would do some massage for you especially on hands and torso. A roller might help with the facial swelling. ❤️❤️❤️

[@angelacotter5872]

Thanks for the new video. I would like to see a part two! I really enjoy your content. Good job Christina. I would be interested in seeing a review on support pillows, especially ones that you use in bed. Or if you use products to help you regulate your temperature especially in hot weather so things you do to help you stay cool?

[@christinadoherty3212]

Next week we have a temp regulator coming!!!!

[@Lizwhynot]

I'm so happy to see you Christina. My mental health hasn't been great lately but it really helps being able to see the folks I care about on the internet. I tend to "treat" my bad episodes by leaving my house and seeing people existing so, I suppose that makes sense. Ha. Anyway, I'm so glad you're doing well enough to film. I wish you safety and spoons.

[@MathIsMagical]

I’m so glad you are feeling up to making videos again. Any forward progress is good. I hope you can get to your therapy appointments soon. I know I’m feeling the fact that I haven’t been able to get to my therapy sessions.

[@madisonhyman9798]

you're videos are so well done and valuable to have on the internet, so sorry for this completely irrelevant comment...but girl you look so much like Megara from Hercules!!

[@pathalfacre6922]

I am so so glad to see you again!! I was worried. Need an update on what has happened to you! Praying

[@crimsonrose4648]

Omg I LOVE those leg things they were always my favorite part of the hospital (guess I'm weird for that) that and those socks were the best

[@tamberjune]

My bestie always asks for my old hospital socks cause same reason!

[@darkbluematter1753]

Yay! So glad they were helpful. I'm always up for your spoonie reviews. I would watch a part two--the thigh high or arm version.

[@i.l.2]

Get well soon darling! And I totally love the finger accessories all over!! You’re my kinda BFF! :D

[@Darjoli8]

So glad to see your video! I was just thinking about you...I'm the lucky one who bought your beautiful sunflower afghan. Every time I see it I wonder how you're doing. Thanks so much for trying out these products for us. I'm a zebra with POTS, so maybe I'll give the leg squeezer a try!

[@kingdomage5806]

It is so good to have you back on line. I missed you :)

[@timberwerewolf]

My dad had a fancy one that went up to his thighs. It was one with a tableside machine, I think it also went for longer than 15 minutes, I think it was around 35 minutes?

[@gothicRaven16]

It made me laugh because right as I was thinking about moon boots you brought it up. Lol I tried a compression product for my messed up hand and it has helped a lot more than the majority of the other braces I bought

[@rebeccaclavette2329]

Your sweetest! Glad your back with the videos. ❤️

[@phoenixtears25]

We definitely need a part 2!!!

[@psychedforlife7176]

Wow! Such a beautiful painting behind you! Gorgeous! new sub.:)

[@hanasanai665]

I would be interested to see the reduction in swelling if you didn’t then while laying flat and with your feet above your heart? I bet you’d get a lot of swelling reduction!!

[@christinadoherty3212]

Good idea!

[@Rose-ez9vf]

I love you Christina. You’re such and encouragement. Yes you should totally test those out!!

[@shawnresor498]

Glad u found some relief! I will wAtch and like any content you post. You are an inspiration.. !

[@IzzyKDNA]

OMG go get those higher up ones! You deserve it!

[@CheshireKittyCat12]

I'm happy you're back Christina! I hope your swelling has gotten a little better and seeing you test out the other ones would be really cool as well.

[@karenmontserrat4201]

I just found your channel and I’ve been obsessed with it. You’re so kind and such a brave person. I was in such a dark place before knowing you! Thank you for sharing your story with us. Love youuuu!!! Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

[@angeknowsit]

Karen Montserrat hiii I am from mexico also Chocalas 🖐

[@karenmontserrat4201]

Angelica O.H chócalas ✋🏻😁

[@lauren3596]

Me encanta la cultura Mexicana. Cuando este virus esta muerto, necesito visitar. Lo siento por me mal español, no he hablado desde escuela😂

[@karenmontserrat4201]

Lauren Doherty Tu español está perfecto! 👌🏻 I used to complain a lot about my country, but the last few months I’ve travel to such amazing places around it. The people, the food, the beauty of each place and the believes each one has made me realize that even with his downsides Mexico is amazing. Hope you visit us soon and I’m sure you’re gonna love it

[@vespagirl99]

I’m so glad that these have worked so well for you! Definitely keen for a part 2

[@XxPanicPickupxX]

Welcome back love, it's always great to see an upload! I'm glad this item worked out for you and thanks again for quality content! Also I would love a part two

[@jamerayton50]

Glad I've found these videos again

[@teresaelza-fry7833]

Oooh oh love the video! And it also helped me to remember, I wanted one of your watercolor zebra tshirts, cuz it was the ad that popped up. Yay me i get anawesome Christina t shirt!!

[@Daubenton951]

I would love to see a part two! These seem very handy; I'll try to get my hands on them. My swelling is less obvious than yours but it does happen from time to time, especially right under the knee for no reason! My feet would love these boots too! Self-care is so important during these times!! Can't wait to see you again :)

[@eugenemakes]

Would love a part 2!! Really glad this worked for you!

[@raymondb62]

Great video Christina! I thought it was hilarious that you preferred this contraption to a physical massage :)

[@sheilas1283]

I’m so glad they seem to be giving you some relief! You certainly deserve it.

[@The_Notorious_N.O.E.]

You're beautiful, Christina ❤️ We love you and missed you 😄 So glad you're back

[@pippacocks5891]

It's so good to see you back on KZbin I'm glad you are healthy enough for now to be back and hope that this continues for you as it would be lovely for you to be able to have a break from surgeries and hospital visits. I would really love a video on your journey with re introducing food after being reliant completely on feed if this would be something that you would be happy sharing.

[@horsewithnoname12345]

These compression massagers are great for everyone, including healthy people. I got once overnight after a surgery and love them. Thought they would be entirely unaffordable. Saw some for hundreds of dollars until I found the at home ones. Got the thigh high ones (without heat) for around $80 and they are the best. I have varicose veins and worry about circulation and this machine is sooooooo worth its weight in gold. A manual full body massage runs about the same price and with this machine I get endless sessions. I feel this will help prevent a lot of potential circulatory issues in the future and if helps my tired legs feel so much better. Beyond being so relaxing.

[@somethingsmatter]

Great video! It is so wonderful to see you making such great content. You are a wonderful presenter, and I'm so glad you found something that improves your quality of life.

[@skye1767]

Hi Christina! I'm totally down for a Part 2. I also love compression and love those leg squeezers in the hospital. You are wonderful! I am seriously thinking of purchasing some of these!

[@rosehill9537]

Welcome back lovely!!!

[@loiscassels8966]

Christina, I’m so so happy to have you back on youtube. To me, it looks like your facial swelling has diminished since the photo with the toque (beanie?). You look fantastic. Glad you are finding the squeezers so comforting. I would suggest you try them with your legs elevated (not dangling down), as it may enhance the movement of fluid. Lve you so much❤️

[@angeknowsit]

I am just glad that you are still here, in youtube

[@kellymyers7506]

I’m so happy you’re back! Please make a video about the thigh highs ones because I have a really bad problem with swilling and the heat sounds so awesome!

[@pygmybugs]

I'm currently dealing with lymphedema, but doing self massage and then wraps (because of the whole virus thing). I have EDS, too, though, and it's pretty rough on my hands. That looks way easier.

[@Amouse0131]

Would love to see the other set as long as it is safe for you. I love all your videos. Looking forward to a part two.

[@kristinwallace6551]

You are beautiful no matter what Christina! I hate lymphodemia it really sucks. I have it in my arm due to damage to my lymph nodes (well the lymph nodes are dead sadly) Keeping the swelling down is a pain! I personally hate tight fitting clothes but you do what you have to do to help your body. Sending my love.

[@iceeyes4478]

I'd love to see another video about this, it's super interesting! I'm so happy for you that it helps you feel a little better. I personally don't have lymphedema, that I'm aware of, but it's all very interesting to learn about. And I've missed your videos! Wishing you and your family all the best!

[@susanswanson7757]

I'm happy you're getting some relief.

[@kayladrumgool7880]

I would absolutely love a part 2! I’m so glad that you’re feeling some kind of relief ❤️❤️❤️

[@anikabaddeleyrollingbackwa7341]

I have just purchased something like this and am planning on reviewing them . The ones I have you can use on your arm too.

[@ConfusedCorvid]

You can really see the swelling is less after you use it! I’m so glad you’ve found something that provides you some relief. Happy tears I hope x I’d definitely love to see you try out the thigh-high heated ones and experiment with using these on your arms (providing it’s safe for you to do so x). This kinda thing could really help with my blood pooling I think but I just don’t have the money to try thinks I can’t guarantee will work. I hope this makes a big difference to your pain and swelling and that you’re staying safe x 🦓🥄💜

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

Hi Christina! It’s so lovely to hear you again! Keep safe and well darling xxxxxxxxxx

[@anjiliveach3267]

Thanks for this video! I love seeing your products tests/reviews. I had never heard of this type of machine and now I'm considering getting one for myself for POTS relief (I would be interested to hear anything you have to say on the subject, maybe in part 2 when you review your thigh high squeezer & try on your arms?), and possibly getting one for my grandmother to help her edema related to type 2 diabetes. One thing I'm wondering is if it might be more effective to use with your legs elevated, so that gravity is helping pull the fluid down while the sleeve is pushing it out. It would be interesting if you tried that and measured to see if you get more reduction with elevation compared to in a seated position.

[@christinadoherty3212]

Good point! I definitely have gotten in the habit now of using it in bed or the recliner, but I have never done the same measurements then. I mostly sat that way to have a clear camera shot

[@pattyh1428]

Always glad to see you🌻🌻

[@curtisbemis6640]

Love new videos from Christina , it makes me so happy to see new videos .your an amazing person Christina your little sister is too . Your whole family must be very strong to deal with all the issues cronic illness brings . Beloved family ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

[@gundelfrocklenburg6289]

I`d be interested in seeing you testing the other device:) So happy it made you feel so much better

[@tamberjune]

I'm so so glad that these helped you. 🧡

[@francesheaton974]

awesome Christina vert informative and you made it fun also look forward to part 2

[@agirlnamedbrett.]

Really like your black pants and that gorgeous sun/moon wall hanging!! can you maybe post where you got it? i am one of the few people my doctor said when i was little that got excited to have my blood pressure taken. lol i looove that squeezed feeling. no where near the same as your expierence, but i too love that feeling. I've never expierenced the leg ones. i am loving that companies are starting to provide bags or whatever you need to put your things in, no matter what it is. finally they are thinking smart haha xoxo love from Maryland

[@elizabethb1096]

I just want to say you are beautiful! You mentioned in the update video that you’d confidence has taken a hit and please know you are beautiful and amazing. Also your general swelling looks significantly lower from the beginning to the start of the video. :) also part 2 please if your up to it :)

[@frenchiegirlintheusa]

When I had surgery they put that on my legs. I really loved it

[@alexandriaswann]

I love these in the hospital because of the pain relief. I did order ones on Amazon about 6 months ago, but they were terrible. I can't remember the brand, but they were very very inexpensive (which is maybe why they weren't very good). I would also like them to come up to my thighs & knees. I need pain relief so badly - I can't get out of bed. Thank you so much for the review!!

[@memaleth6794]

Christina you’re looking so healthy and radiant

[@Mauchoxen]

I'm so happy you found something that helped you!! :D

[@laurenragle5228]

Love you so much! I'm glad you found something so useful for you.

[@BNHAalltheway]

Praise God You're doing so good You look good too glad You found something to help with Your swelling/water in Your legs God Bless and stay safe

[@morgiiiklein5385]

I missed you!!! ❤️

[@lorrainebaldridge568]

Thank you for sharing. Please share a video on the thigh high squeezer.

[@NRGvideoproduction]

Love this- hope you are able too keep making more!

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

Have you tried moisturising your legs before putting the stockings on? That helped me xxxxxxxxxxx

[@michimelody4036]

I seriously hope you have an Amazon affiliate link girl. I'm about to go on an Amazon shopping spree when i get my check from the government and I want to be able to help you out. Always willing to help a fellow zebra out! Much love to you beautiful girl. Keep up the amazing work looking forward to part 2!

[@christinadoherty3212]

I have zero idea on how to get one of those hahaha but by now, Amazon owes me 😂😉

[@WackyLisa]

My SO has lymphedema pumps gotten through insurance. He loves them. They run for an hour at about 50 mmhg. The only downside is all the trips to the bathroom for the 3 hours afterwards.

[@scorpleeon]

I'm glad it worked for you. Be well.

[@amethystjean1744]

I'm with you. I can't wait to get mine too

[@frenchiegirlintheusa]

Yassssss the arm and thigh pleaseeeeeee

[@yogabirds]

I’d totally love a art too! Angioedema is also a MCAS symptom as well some other conditions. , so if you aren’t aggressively treating it, you may want to ask your doctor if there are any good options for you. A week after i was put on iv Benadryl, all the edema Went completely away! Thanks for the update! I’m sending healing thoughts, hugs, and prayers your way!

[@533134]

We need a part two and three!

[@Annie-A]

I really love these videos. I do not have edema, but some of my family members do. And I am very interested in compression garments to possibly help my poor circulation and POTS. I really like your Spoonie products series! :)

[@samorrowjohnson8114]

Thanks for trying out new things and showing them to us I hope you are doing well have a nice day

[@nonexistent-best-friend1693]

i would love to see a part 2!

[@greyv9107]

im glad these are working so well for you!! i would love to see you try the other ones out. i wonder how these would work for pots. i struggle a lot and i love compression socks so maybe this would be similar but more intense??

[@Kotohira_]

I love your sweatshirt!!

[@533134]

Christina, you look so good!

[@kaylabarnes]

Congratulations on the relief sweety.

[@eveenz7165]

I am so happy this product is helping you with your oedema. I would love to see part two how it will help with your arms. Love you 😘😘

[@leslieiannottacronin2176]

Yes show us. It could help others.

[@danielletadd1038]

would love a part two this is something im now looking up to getting one for myself

[@olgagnatyuk2441]

I have the same one and I love this product. Bought it last summer.

[@justnothingification]

This girl is amazing

[@kristinanalett562]

Please make another video. I have lipedema/eds/pots and am really curious about the devices and if they would help. Love your videos. So glad u are okay. Was very worried. Also have you tried dry brushing?

[@christinadoherty3212]

I love my dry brush!!!

[@kristinanalett562]

I just started dry brushing. How long until you noticed a difference. I am looking at the devices (leg thingys) and am curious if the large one also does a pulse thing and if your family also enjoyed it as thats my selling point for getting one if everyone can enjoy it just for general tired legs.

[@meiraloraduncan8953]

I first got edema while pregnant with my daughter starting around the 5 month mark. It was in my left leg and it got so tight that my skin was stretched and so painful. It then moved into my right leg. After getting severe food poisoning over the weekend around 28 weeks pregnant I suddenly gained 20 pounds of fluid and was swelling in my arms and face in addition to both legs. I had developed pre-eclampsia and the worst was yet to come. I couldn’t wear shoes and I wasn’t allowed to work. By the time I went in the give birth my weight was up 40 pounds. Before all of the swelling I had barely gained 7 pounds. After an emergency C-section and being on IV fluids for 5 days I was starting to feel like Violet from Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. My skin was so tight and painful. My doctor didn’t want my staples removed until I was seen in his office on Monday. Unfortunately the nurse doing my discharge decided to remove them. Thankfully she missed one. Because she missed one the outer layers of my incision only opened 4 inches instead of 8. And I had been stupid and gone to church 6 days after a C-section because I felt great or I did before the incision ruptured as I went to sit down. Everyone at church thought I had hemorrhaged. I lost all of the fluid and excess weight and was 20 pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight by 6 weeks postpartum. 2 years later I started retaining fluid again as a result of my last pregnancy which ended in a miscarriage at 8 weeks. I have battled it ever since and following the surgery to remove the breast cancer and 3 lymph nodes and daily radiation treatments I noticed that my right arm and hand was swelling. I had developed lymph edema and I was fitted for compression garments for my arm. I was already using compression hose for my legs. With each surgery and hospitalization they would put the squeezers on and they were ok for a few days especially when I was heavily medicated, but they would start to become extremely painful especially the left leg and thigh to the point that they did tests to rule out blood clots. thankfully no clots. I can only wear knee high compression hose on that leg. Over the last 2-3 years I have been noticing that my left arm and hand is swelling and we don’t know why. I also developed trigger finger on my left hand and doing the lymphatic massage has helped ease the pain in my hand and allows me to bend and straighten my finger without extreme pain.
