I just joined the group and am not sure how to chat with people but if you get this I would love to learn more about
kinesio taping. It sounds like something that would help with hiking in the Southern CA summer heat. The stocking are like hiking in a wetsuit. Thanks you the post.

Hello!
I have not posted in a long time, but I think is time I share that kinesio taping has been working very well for me, I was able to learn how to do it by a therapist and now I do it myself. I have not used compression in more than a year now and my...

My lymphedema is in my left foot and I'm lucky to have been able to found out what it was in an early stage. I'm still going through all different emotions, anger, sadness, happiness (of not having something life threatening), frustration, self pity, denial, acceptance, etc. etc. I can't even count how many different feelings I've had since all this started.
In any case I just wanted to say hi and of course ask you a question :-) … have any of you tried the Farrow Microfine Trim-to-Fit Toe Cap? I can provide the link if you haven’t heard of it. It's expensive and I wanted to see if anyone has first hand (foot) experience with it.
Nathalie BHi Michele, thanks for the support, I truly appreciate it, I'm trying to see the bright side of my new situation, for example.. I went shoe shopping yeay !! I got new shoes that fit me better and also summer boots that show less of my compression... moreHi Michele, thanks for the support, I truly appreciate it, I'm trying to see the bright side of my new situation, for example..

It is an EXCELLENT read for any LE patient, but especially for the patient who has been newly-diagnosed. It takes awhile to sift through all those early emotions we have and finally come to the acceptance that this is something we will have to deal with FOREVER, but that it will NOT control our lives.....

I am delving into essential oil living. Oils have several healing properties. Does anyone have any experience with it whether topical or ingestion?
