I still mask when I go out. I have lymphedema from my cancer battle in 2010 and don't want to find out how it would be impacted if I got Covid. Still haven't had Covid and don't want it.

@PlanetOfMemes That is some serious lymphedema.
@fusreedah If you really must know, I have lymphedema. I came to hospital with an infected toenail, but it turned out I also had 3 or 4 other infections in the massive lymphedema lobe on my thigh. I felk into unconsciousness for a week & a half, and now I'm learning how to walk again.
Anyways the emergency room gave me some medication for vertigo. I'm at home right now I'm recuperating but that just was really scary and really sudden and I canceled my PT appointment for my shoulder this week so that all I have to focus on is my lymphedema consultation next week for my leg.

@Gerashchenko_en Lymphedema. This disease causes a buildup of lymph, a fluid in your body tissue, which leads to swelling. The buildup can damage tissues under your skin. As lymphedema advances, your skin can tighten, have a leathery feel, and become wrinkly.
@saintjavelin Shriveled hands can be caused by various conditions, including lymphedema, which leads to swelling and skin tightening due to a buildup of lymph fluid.This condition can result in a leathery feel and wrinkly appearance of the skin. Other potential causes include lupus,scleroderma
I’m glad that transition therapy is covered by insurance, but they should allow cis women to get surgery as well. We can’t get a breast reduction covered by insurance unless our boobs are G’s. We can’t get a rhinoplasty unless it’s a deviated septum. We can’t get liposuction unless it’s lymphedema.

The swelling has gone down but I'll still need to get treated for lymphedema. Gonna be a ongoing process but I'll make it through it.
It’s a process. grateful to be alive! About 4 yr since surgery. The sentinel lymph node was affected so 19 more were removed. That resulted in lymphedema. learning to live with it. Still on RX hormone blocker to keep the odds in my favor. Side effect-blood clots bone loss. Remedy: diet & exercise !

Benefits of Lymphatic Massage Reduces swelling and water retention Boosts immune function Supports detoxification Improves skin clarity and tone Eases bloating or heaviness Promotes healing after surgery or injury Helps with fibromyalgia, lymphedema, or inflammation
@TiffanyMccombie @YouTube Interesting share! Lymphatic drainage techniques, like gentle massages, may help reduce swelling and mild inflammation by promoting fluid movement, according to sources like Cleveland Clinic. Evidence is stronger for conditions like lymphedema than general whole-body use. Consult

Update on my daughter she still has to see the doctors every other day but is in good spirits. The Lymphedema Doctor is saying she sees a little healing going on and she broke arm when she fell.
The Lymphedema is impacting my breathing, again. When I breathe it comes out in a deep moan. The water weight I got off in the hospital has come back on. It's hurting my knees and I've hurt my shoulders - especially the dislocated one. The pain kept me up all last night.
@AntiWokeMemes Lipedema. Not lymphedema. Lipedema is an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation of fat cells causing weight gain in the upper arms and butt and legs. It is VERY difficult to lose weight. Some people find the carnivore diet helpful.

@Carlynotcarley I was too young to have carpal tunnel, OSA, chest pain that made me faint, and lymphedema. What I’ve learned is that doctors should focus on curiosity and learning. Falling outside the normal ranges isn’t a problem, it is an opportunity to discover something new.

Neither the American nor the Australian Medical Association says underwire bras cause cancer, because they don't. Lymphedema often happens post-surgery after lymph nodes are removed. That doesn't mean 'lymphatic drainage' has anything to do with causing cancer.
So Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan is actively deleting my comments on their social media accounts, decrying the denial of a surgical procedure that will go a long way to prevent living with lymphedema for the rest of my life. Fucking ghouls.
I'm curious about all of this focus on lymph fluid. I have lymphedema from getting 15 lymph nodes removed during breast cancer treatment. Do you have lymphedema, too? I think most people have lymph nodes that are capable of moving and draining their lymphatic fluid.
Just had in home visit for a lymphedema pump for my pain since having breast cancer, lumpectomy, and radiation. My co-pay with insurance and if approved by the insurance 1500.00. They offer interest free payments but 1500.00 with health insurance that is not cheap.
New weekly Annals of Surgical Oncology featured the article: Educational Review: Management of Lymphedema—Approaches, Evidence for Surgical and Nonsurgical Interventions. https://ow.ly/MAfN50X9Ycg
These findings suggest that healthcare professionals should assess both physical activity and lymphedema status to provide tailored interventions for cancer survivors with lymphedema, aiming to improve their overall health and well-being.
Older age, longer time since cancer diagnosis, and lower activity levels were associated with greater severity of lymphedema.
The researchers found that patients with more severe lymphedema spent significantly more time in sedentary behavior and less time in moderate-to-vigorous activity compared to those with milder symptoms.
This cross-sectional study examined the association between objectively measured physical activity and lower-limb lymphedema markers in 56 patients with lymphedema secondary to gynecological cancer.
Discover how physical activity impacts lymphedema in cancer survivors - less active patients have more severe symptoms, highlighting the need for personalized interventions to improve the...
If you have cancer surgery, you'll probably have lymph nodes removed to be tested. Please talk to your doctor about what you can do to treat and prevent lymphedema. It's a distressingly common side effect of cancer surgery & treatment that can cause permanent swelling in arms and legs mostly. 1/2
Hey @bcbsm.bsky.social, care to explain why you’re denying coverage of a procedure for a breast cancer patient that could significantly lessen the chances their arm blowing up like a balloon for the rest of their life due to lymphedema caused by the removal of lymph nodes?
Lymphedema life. Time for an hour and a half trying to convince my legs that they don't need to hoard fluids.
Biggest Medical Ripoff trying to take advantage of people with lymphedema.. They want 49.99 plus shipping for an item that's 20 on Amazon and 12 on TEMU. Fuck Beltwell. www.beltwell-us.com/products/lym...
He's overweight. Has a poor diet. The cankles may be from lymphedema, in which case, he should stop eating all of that fast food with a high sodium content and his brain is malfunctioning. Grandpa needs to go to a farm upstate.
And all that ghoulishness isn't actually necessary if Trump's problem *isn't* CHF. It literally could be late onset type-II diabetes. The swelling of the ankles could very well be uncontrolled blood glucose leading to lymphedema in the legs.
Me as well. I'm 5 years post breast cancer treatment (double mastectomy, chemo, radiation). I am healthy now although I have lymphedema and so I need insurance still. I have ACA and pay $250 per month. If it even doubles I won't be able to afford it. Forget about it tripling. I'm 46 years old.
Did walking with peer support. Only up the hall and back but took less breaks than last week. Went a bit further. My breathing is holding me back bc i have to stop often to not get a asthma attack. The lymphedema in one of my knees also feels bad when walking
With LFS, we face many cancers with many long term side effects. 2 out of 5 women face swelling after breast cancer surgeries and treatment, but anytime lymph nodes are compromised, there can be edema. Lymphedema can be managed if caught early and treated.
Guidelines group argues against lymph node dissection in radical prostatectomy by cherry-picking outlying studies eg systematic review finds 5 studies on lymphedema only 1 with p<5%; authors cite that one study and ignore systematic review. www.europeanurology.com/article/S030...

If anyone is on TwitterX; would you try to remind DJT that everyone knows his little secret: that he got his ass whooped by the black woman with a much bigger brain and great legs who doesn’t have ischemic strokes, liver failure & lymphedema. She sent you home. #WeKnowYouLost
So the orange bastard has once again disappeared. Same time about as last month. So what kinda health service would he be getting that requires him to be inpatient for a number of days? Lymphedema...bruising...is he getting round the clock dialysis? Normally one would get dialised periodically
Surgeries that lead to lymphedema, chronic swelling, nerve damage, and loss of sensation, not to mention scars that completely change how you look, how you feel. Collagen broken down. Tendons aching (maybe even torn). Skin forever altered.

I had to spend over $200 out of pocket this month on medical supplies for my lymphedema, so I'm sharing this again and asking that folks please share <3
It was a privilege to join Dudley’s brilliant Youth Council and hear from the incredible Didi Okoh, a Paralympic medallist and lymphedema advocate. Thank you to everyone who came along — your voices matter, and I’ll keep fighting to make sure they’re heard.

He does have a bigger heart than her. It’s called an enlarged heart (Cardiomegaly), most likely caused by pericardial effusion and pericardial fat. His lymphedema is also show the fluid retention issues.
3. Asking me where the surgeon placed my nipples. What nipples? This is not plastic surgery. There are no nipples, they were full of cancer 4. Assuming that the reason I can't do certain moves at the gym is because only of top surgery scars. While I have extensive fibrosis and chest lymphedema 8/
Pre-bedtime compression session. Full leg compression sleeve for treating lymphedema. My compression machine is an Airos 6
I just want to add that lymphedema is atypical in that it doesn’t show the pitting symptom that other edema displays.
Trump Has Lymphedema In His Legs #Swollen #Fluid
I get clots in my legs from any sort of inflammation. So when I get really sick, like when I had covid or the flu or any strong immune response I get superficial clots in my legs. I have awful varicose veins and lymphedema. So I know I'm risking painful clots with every vaccine.
I still mask when I go out. I have lymphedema from my cancer battle in 2010 and don't want to find out how it would be impacted if I got Covid. Still haven't had Covid and don't want it.
I voted for this not to happen in the first place! I hurt myself and now my lymphedema is making it hard to walk on top of hurting my back and leg, all I can do is voice my outrage!
Kaska Koltowska @uu.se has identified unique DNA sequences, enhancers, which are active in lymphatic vessels. She hopes that new research will reveal new hidden secrets of the lymphatic vessel formation #research #lymphedema #medicine @lymphaticslab.bsky.social tinyurl.com/yfk7ett5
i literally have a trampoline in my studio apartment right now. doctor ordered fun and whimsy as treatment for my lymphedema
Discipline is not a problem for me :) Because of my lymphedema I do sports almost every day. I ride my bike to work in all weather conditions. Vitamin D - yes, I don't take it artificially, but I like to be outside on my days off. No screen time before bed usually works too. I'm working on that xD
My lymphedema has been acting up because I have been pushing to see how long between treatments I can go. I really should just schedule time in my calendar to do it weekly to stay on top of things but my brain wants to be lazy.
One of the most annoying things about having a body that needs more care, is that when I actually do my OT stretches and use my damn lymphedema compression I feel better. It just isn't fair.
I have a poem about this exact thing. Scars and wounds... In this instance, fat, too. Some lady in Sunday School was super excited about being thin in the resurrection, and as a woman with lymphedema, that concerns me.
Resistance Training and Lymphedema in Breast Cancer Survivors, published in JAMA Network Open.
It's day 9 out of 12 of the battling lymphedema schedule. Both my legs mummified 24/7, waking up at 6 to go to the hospital for therapy and sporting and all that. I'm. So. Done. I'm tired (and have a cold), but most of all, I want to get these damn things off my legs
managed by a pain specialist. I had gone from reasonably functional mom to unable to walk during pregnancy because of the pain, and lymphedema moving again. It was a Wild year. But no Tylenol. I'm just... There's no link that's been found for decades? But there's GENETIC INDICATORS EVERYWHERE.
Are there any lymphedema people on here? First I hurt my sciatica and then tripped and almost fell , twisted my leg,I can barely walk on it, I just feel alone in this pain
Hand surgery sounds scary but i hope it helps! I hope never to need hearing aids as I obsessively wear ear plugs. Taking off the compression bra is also a relief but taking off compression sleeves is the absolute best (lymphedema is not fun)
As a breast cancer survivor with lymphedema this is eNrAGinG!!! But everybody with any condition — or the possibility to develop an unknown medical condition in the future — should also be apoplectic.
The weight itself put pressure on my lymph and circulatory system below my belly so that I developed severe lymphedema in my lower limbs. I couldn't find shoes to fit my swollen feet. I was at risk for blood clots.
My mom had CHF and lymphedema, Lymphedema NEVER GOES AWAY lymphedema an be sort of controlled by water pills, and lymphedema WRAPS lymphedema is usually caused by CHF where the heart can't pump properly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhVo...
No no noooo! When I applied was denied so many times for years. I had 6/7 doctors 2 PT & lymphedema therapist. In so much pain without resolve after cancer surgery horrific MRSA infection 12 surgeries countless debridments that left me disfigured & disabled. Docs didn’t understand how I was denied.

"For Brady, it signals the end of a six-year fight with the Nova Scotia government for surgery to treat her lymphedema, a disease that causes fluid buildup and can result in painful swelling." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Nothing for her diabetes, lymphedema, they didn't find evidence of pleural effusion this time but the afib is still an issue which they did not treat and they said she looks to be chronically anemic... which they also did not treat. And they were going to send her home.
Compared to other places our medical expenses are quite well regulated, and yet, here I am, suddenly having to wear not one but two compression 'socks' for lymphedema, and having to pay €150-200 for each sock. Which will probably not be a perfect fit from the start, so I'll need to buy a new pair+
Longterm lymphedema management after single mastectomy: I don’t wear a compression sleeve on my arm on flights anymore, but I do observe the no-blood pressure cuff precaution on my surgery side arm, still and always.

The fundraiser organized by @allisonanne.com has reached $135 so far! Just so folks have more info, some of my needs include supplies for managing my lymphedema at home, like a vibration plate, massage tools, and proper medical-grade compression socks, none of which are covered by my insurance

My then-17 yr old daughter was critically ill w a 5% chance of recovering from a "mystery illness" in Sept 2019. Turns out it was covid. Govt knew it was here & hid the info. At 23, she's got damaged lungs, adrenal system & immune system asking with lymphedema. We mask & don't go out much.
I understand the urge toward name calling but using slang to describe leg swelling is lazy. An estimated 10 million Americans live with lymphedema which causes swelling. I've had it in my legs for 40 years. It's uncomfortable, unsightly and frustrating to manage. Be better. Thanks.
I have long been of that suspicion. I have untreatable lymphatic cancer and appts for lymphedema specialists book 6mos out.
A little bit of background about me: • I’m disabled ♿️ • I survived Cancer
Don't overlook the administrative burdens, too. I take a specialized anti-inflammatory which I need to keep massive lymphedema (huge tumors comprised of lymphatic fluid) in my legs somewhat under control. In the last 2 months I needed a letter of medical necessity TWICE to get insurance to pay.
Like, I have discussion nightly with my self, telling her it's ok to sleep, now, she's safe. My body stores extra fluids (lymphedema) when stressed out by illness, but sometimes just with added stress. I tell me that it's ok. I can shower without being filmed, I can sleep peacefully. We are ok.

I'm so pissed I had to cancel my in person peer support today bc of my asthma. We were supposed to work on walking and I really need to walk to get the lymphedema fluid moving but I can only take my inhaler every 6 hours and I can't risk another attack. All night struggling to breathe / sleep
I have reached the coveted "super nausea"stage of migraine. I thought it was going away because the swelling was, actually, going down? Twelve lbs so far in 26hrs is a lot, considering my body has been hoarding it for two weeks, now. Dear body, you are so weird. #lymphedema
