    Kidney functions and lymphedema?
    Has anyone found a relationship between primary lymphedema and kidney functions? Or dysfunctions, I should say? I've had primary lymphedema since 1967, it's well managed since 2009 with CDT, MLD, nightime compression, daily Class IV garment wear, and good...

      Sharon Vogel, CLT Hello, Mr. Miller, I came across your blog question which correlates to another blogger's similar question posed to Dr. Stanley Rockson of LE&RN: https://lymphaticnetwork.org/ask-experts/e/stanley-rockson#496

    Sharing 25 Years of Experience as a Lymphedema Patient
    I have had lymphedema for all 25 years(so far) that I have been on this earth. There is an astonishing amount of misinformation and lack of information available for patients and professionals, so I thought I would share my experience. If you can add to t...

  • Melanie Harmon Hey, I just completed my training as a lymphedema therapist and wound specialist.  My goodness, it was extremely informative and so packed with pertinent information.  The days were long, the curriculum excellent. There were nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapist and assistants as well as lymphedema therapist in this class.  The days were very long.  I wasn't sure that I was going to make it through for a variety of reasons.  Now, my goal is to work with lymphedema patients but do not know how to go about this.  I know that there is private, but I would much prefer to work within a clinic where I can observe the clientele, the pace of the clinic and learn and hone my newly learned techniques in the MLD and bandaging techniques.  I live in Miami, teach part time and would have three days during the week to devote to this endeavor.  I would appreciate any information, any invitations to join their team, etc.  I care and have experience as a nurse, arnp, and lmt.  I am equipped.  Oh and I am nice which sometimes comes off as weakness.  It is not.  It is merely me and the way I am. Patients regard me as being understanding and empathetic.  They greatly appreciate this.
  • Marge Naab My lymphedema is in my left arm and I have carpal tunnel on my right hand. I need surgery but they can not give IV in left arm. My doctor said there is IV in right arm to give me nova cane and left arm would have IV to put me to sleep but because of lymphedema I have to have IV in my foot. Has anyone else ever have this done because of surgery? Would love feed back!
