Hi everyone
I am a 30 year old lady. I have been living with Primary lympedema for the past 15 years. I have lympedema of both legs and feet. My one leg is bigger than the other. Lymphedema is an unusual accumulation of lymph fluid in the tissues of the arms or legs of a patient due to a malfunction of the lymphatic system. There is no cure for the this condition and it causes pain. The emotional pain seems to be taking over these day.
I am mostly sad during the festive season . I feel so lonely. All my sisters are married and right now they are with their husband and kids. I am the only one who does not have a kid in my family. It hurts so bad. I am turning 30 on the 24 January. The older I get the more sad I become.
When you have a chronic condition it gets harder as one grows older.
Most of my friends are married . So this weekend I will be home alone again. Last time I dated was 6 years ago. | wish to meet someone who will love me although I have a chronic condition of lympedema.
I cried myself to sleep last night. I feely so LONELY and now that it is summer in my area, it worsens the situation.
I cant even afford MLD.
I HATE life right now, sometimes I wish I was dead.

89FToday it is again another hot day but cooler then yesterday. Since this is August it is to be expected in my neck of the woods. All the grass is yellow and flowers are starting to go to seed. I need to water my garden but this time of the year I'm so over it, which is weird because all my plants have their fruit or veggies.Sandra, this time of year reminds me of your Dad and his toms. We'd...

What is MLD? Is that some form of treatment? What do you do when you legs swell? Can you wear some kind of sleeve to help the fluid drain? Can doctors drain fluid for you? What about massage? I know very little about your condition but have heard of lymph massages before.
I hope things get better and that you find some joy for the new year.
Most romances happen through meeting friends of friends.
There must be groups you can join with similar people. On DS, of course, you always have support.
But yes, loneliness maybe an integral part of your life, and you have to learn how not to be bitter, to know that there is still a lot of happiness out there for you, if you can only change your viewpoint.
Domestic bliss is good, but also binding, blinding. You have a chance to discover other horizons.
Keep posting, good luck.
