I just want to say hello to all in the community and that I am so glad that there is a forum for us. Kudos to the genius who saw a need and thought of us. 
Now about me... I'm 26 years old and I have primary lymphedema. I began noticing changings in my feet, ankles, and lower leg when I turned 16 years old and received my first job as a sacker at a grocery store. It would come and go without notice and I was hardly bothered until the age of 24. That's when it start getting irritating. With the years of flucutating swelling, my mom and other family members freaked out because of my family's history of heart disease and hypertension. Needless to say I have been going to doctor after doctor and finally at the age of 25, I was diagnosed.
I must admit before I found out about my condition I went through phases of ignoring it, becoming self-conscious, embarrassed, and even depressed. Though I've learned to accept it, I do miss wearing strappy, cute hills and sandals, that show off my legs.. LOL! But I'm blessed and I have somewhat of a mild case of it.
But to everyone on here: I'm glad to be here and to share things with you and I hope that you are willing to share things with me.
