      Jacquie, you don't know how often I think of you when I use the Flexitouch, Reidsleeves & put on my Elvarex! Just knowing that there's someone out there working as hard as I am to dam up the floodgate helps immensely! I'm coming along well with the program. Keep in touch - I like to hear how you're doing to. You really motivated me to get serious about it once again! Thanks & God bless you, girlfriend! Hugs, Pat

      Thanks for your reply to my post. I too am on medication - I would be in a rubber room if I weren't As strange as it sounds, i am somewhat relieved that part of the way I feel is hormonal as I am going through so much mentally and emotionally. Now I can blame some of it on hormones. Nancy

    • Close Lymphedema

      Have had bilateral LE from my feet to mid thighs for 2 yrs now. It took 8 months to FINALLY get a diagnoses of secondary LE, and it was by a Vascular Surgeon. It started out as a case of cellulitis in my right lower leg and by the time (8 months later) I found someone who could tell me what I had, it had then spread to the left foot and leg as well.

      Treatments

      Wrapping Working / Worked
      MLD/CDT....I am so very blessed to have an excellent certified LE therapist who did her training in Germany. Wrapping did wonders as does the MLD. I am currently wearing Jobst Elvarix compression hose during the day and Reid Sleeves at night.
    • Close Menopause

      Hi...I'm 46 yrs young and going through perimenopause. I has a partial hysterectomy when I was 29, they took everything but my right ovary. The past 2 yrs I have noticed for about 2 weeks out of every month I get wicked hot flashes, heart flutters, my eyelid even twitches at times or my finger, really irritable and either crabby or tearful, retain water and then it goes away and comes back 2 weeks later like clock work. Looking for more natural ways to help with symptoms.
