  1. IN OTHER LIFE AFTER #FuckCancer NEWS

    am in massive pain on my #mastectomy side and am literally exhausted from the pain.

    i already had to deal with #fibromyalgia but when the #lymphedema decides to hit hard, it takes me out.

    so if you are also suffering from chronic pain, loudly or in silence, i see you.

    my doctors have been amazing but i wish the whole USA health care culture took pain seriously. there has to be a better way than leaving these side effects to chance.

  2. CW: Health question - lymphedema

    Wrestled myself into compression again today. Does high levels of anger and frustration affect (trigger) lymphedema?

    I normally have pure lipedema - no pitting or water storage - and compression doesn’t help with that. This is the first return of lymph swelling since my cancer ops and stopping Visanne.

  3. Compression bandaging for #lymphedema sucks. Especially when it's your arm!

  4. I've had to get compressing bandaging done on my arm. I got a splinter in my finger about a month ago. The spot hasn't fully healed, and my #lymphedema has been acting up thanks to the tiny wound. I thought my hand was going to pop it got so big. So now I'm a partial mummy, and this really sucks.
