Living with Lymphedema: Tips and Support
in Health ·
Lymphedema is absolutely wrecking me... my lower legs are constantly swollen, and honestly, it feels like nothing actually works. When I head down to Florida for the summer, the salt water helps pull some of the fluid out—it cuts the swelling about in half—but even then, it’s still a massive issue.
Last spring, I ended up stuck in a hospital for two weeks just trying to flush all the excess fluid out, but now I’ve basically become immune to diuretics. I’ve run every test under the sun, and none of the doctors could give me a straight answer. I've heard there's a surgical option to get rid of it... anyone here actually gone through that?
If you're dealing with the same thing and actually know how to fix it, hit me up.
