so i have had lymphedema in both legs since at least 2014. It was misdiagnosed a couple of times, I was given advice to take water pills and sleep more. Finally another doctor who was listening in on that last bit of advice, sent me to a specialist who diagnosed me and put the fear of the Almighty in me about scratching the rashes i was getting (you all know, you dont want to break the skin) So i am fortunate, we have specialists here, and therapists, Even so, you are mostly on your own with this. I have periods where i lose ground and periods where i stay even, Times i don't feel like trying and times i over-do it. Sometime on the same day. I am trying physical therapy again, Starting with water therapy, which is going well. I highly recommend it.
