Pantyhose are the anti-christ. | Arthritis Information

I really have hated putting on pantyhose this last week.  My wrists have been hurting and it takes me forever to get the things on.  I also hate to put on my bra.  It just sucks.

I wish I could wear jeans to work. 


Do any of you all have to wear them?
I stopped wearing them in my teens (now 33).  Instead i just wear long skirts and boots or i wear pant suits.I personally avoid them like the plague.I'm with the long skirts and pants.  Panty hose are for things like weddings and audiences with the queen.Isn't it funny how much the little things in life that seem so simple for ordinary healthy people cause us to stress about. I get worked up when I need to wear shoes that don't slip on. Like you it kills my wrist when I struggle to get my foot in. Maybe the burn your bra era will return!

Sorry to hear you are hurting arizonara :( 

I hate putting on my bra as well...my hands and wrists hurt the most so it makes stuff like that difficult.

I'm the same as Pammy...pantyhose are reserved for weddings and the queen

Then, to top it off, I put on my knee braces which always snag the darn things. With summer coming on, it makes it incredibly hot. I'm going for long skirts and flats. I think I replace the hose with more leg exercises.  These babies want to breathe!

   Personally, I gave up on the panty hose thing. I would buy them, wear them once, and then throw them out because I had a huge hole or run in them. My hands would be so rough from dry skin that the darn things would get caught on my hands.
   Can't tell you how much I struggle with my bra. I hook it in the front and then turn it around to the back of me. Alot of the time it will get stuck on or in between a roll of extra padding on my body. Then comes the struggle to free it. If that doesn't happen, then I usually twist the back and wind up trying to untwist it after I got one arm in. This will happen when I'm in a rush. Lord, what I could give to go back to pre RA days!
   Now I wear only pants and jeans. If I have to go to a dress up event, I get a dressy pant suit.

no kidding! i totally ditched pantyhose. wish i could do the same to the bra! they are def way too difficult to put on.

they are evil! burn! burn! burn!!

lol

I had the most horrible thought just the other day while struggling to acquire my attire. It was a vision actually and not a pretty one. I was thinking how hard it is to get things over my head with my bad shoulders and how sore my wrist and hands are. Then, of course, the mengy bra that seems to have nasty, clinging paws as I try and manuever into its final, choking position. Even panties are struggle as my hips hurt and we already discussed those evil panty hose. Shoes that crimp and torture, too!

The vision, God help me, I wanted to scream! A long, comfortable top that hides everything. It buttons in the front and I realized--it's moo-moos and granny gowns or whatever they're called with large, ugly buttons that make easy to install. Help me, I'm not resorting to that. But suddenly I understand their invention and feel must more kinder to this ungodly fashion statement.

However, I'm not going there! I rather go out bare. Or wear, the proverbial burlap sack. So, I keep struggling with unruly clothes and look like a woman if it kills me. It probably will. That's how they'll find me someday. Not in a car accident. Not in the ER. No, some poor soul will discover me in my grandest state, my bra attached to my feet and my hose to face grasping for one last breath of dignity.

Thanks Deanna.
