Hi! Just fyi: there is a good support group for Dercum’s on Facebook…check it out! Hope you’re feeling better! I do find that eating low fat and mostly vegetarian and vegan meals helps me feel better, more energy, and less fatigue. Blessings to you!! Also, low stress and exercise/swimming helps a ton! Also, lymphatic massage (gentle) helps greatly and I almost always wear my compression socks as well now, truly helps!!

Hello. Thanks for the friendly welcome. Exercise is something I have been trying to ensure that I do regularly - but so fatigued of late. And yes, diet must be improved
I am experimenting with one of those 'revitive' machines that sends electricity into the legs. It seems to be improving the feeling of heaviness when walking. I'll trial it over the next month to see if it is effective for me. I'll post the outcome in case it is useful for others. Thanks for the blessing! That is important to me.
