@perry1 Tell me about your struggle, if you would? I have lower limb lymphedema, caused by failing kidneys and perhaps my multiple myeloma [undergoing chemo for that].
What have you done for your lymphedema, curious to see if it might be helpful for me! I limit the amounts of fluid intake everyday, and work hard at getting out for a walk or at least moving around, even when my energy level is not very high. A 20 minute walk at a slow pace is better than nothing! No carbonated drinks, as low sodium intake as possible.

My struggle mostly is keeping balance on water gain because it takes the pain and discomfort of lymphedema too a higher level. and this is truly a balancing act because I also deal with CHF and RA. was put on Metolazone [recently] and it is helping..I Have had legs wrapped 3 times. Now on waiting list for lymphedema PT and message. I do wear compression Hoses. climbing my indoors stairs is my exercise. Have been to wound clinic twice too much swelling caused skin break on my leg. Wise to have refill order of Amox-Clav 500 medication for infection to avoid ER visit. Hope this information will help you.
