Does any one use the copper wear? Wondering if it's real or not. If they work I need a jumpsuit not a sleeve LOL.

Drpotblue that is so nice of you! do they cover your fingers? I could never ask you to give them up if you still use them at all. I know how important it is to have an arsenal of supplies. Creams,lotions, gels, 100 different braces and things you can't even figure out how to put on!! Lol. I just don't want to buy any if people here give it a bad review.
