Daily compression bandaging works in reducing lymphoedema and improving skin conditions.
Miss Timbuktu....Complete Decongestive Therapy works.
If I were an MD, DO, PA, or NP, I would really want to know that diuretics are WRONG for lymphedema. I would want to know that "elevate your legs" is not a solution. I would want to know that "compression" means 100s of options and not "one size fits all." I would want to know that it is not "Just obesity." I would want to know that losing mobility, developing chronic wounds and infections do not have to happen. I would want to know that people do not have to lose their jobs, independence, and quality of life. If I were a primary care provider, I would want to know that Certified Lymphedema Therapists who practice Complete Decongestive Therapy are the solution! That is what I would want to know.
