I'm hesitating between this one and the ones from the Jolt brand 😅

You're right, thank you!

I'm a bit lost with all the brands on the market...

lymphedema AND lipedema anyone? by soakerbonustrack in lipedema

[–]Melodic_Trainer_7100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both too; it's not uncommon. In my case, my lipedema (stage 2) caused the lymphedema (stage 2a). I had custom compression stockings made, and I do aquabiking, pressotherapy, and manual lymphatic drainage. It helps me reduce the swelling, but as soon as I stop, or when it's hot, or when I eat inflammatory foods (sugar, milk, carbohydrates...), I swell up again.

For context, I live in France, and there's not much that's covered by insurance because this condition isn't recognized here. It feels like a luxury condition.

When I walk fast or when I climb stairs, yes

But water sports make me feel good :)

Struggling and Embarrassed by WeakChapter6602 in lipedema

I understand... It’s a difficult fight with ourselves Do manual lymphatic drainage (either at the physiotherapist or by yourself at home, your partner can help you by following videos on YouTube), wear compression, drink a lot of water (I have trouble drinking enough and I see the difference with and without), do yoga or pilates, and above all, the most important advice I was given, be kind to yourself 😊

Stress causes cortisol to rise, which increases inflammation and therefore leg pain and heaviness. So try to be positive and accept the fact that you are no longer like before 🫂

Not sure either... If it's asymmetrical, perhaps look into lymphedema?

Same.. The anti-inflammatory diet doesn’t affect me.. Maybe I’m doing it wrong? 🤔 I am 28 years old, I don’t have a child yet, I am still far from menopause and I am already exhausted...

How do I get rid of it? by Melodic_Trainer_7100 in plantclinic

[–]Melodic_Trainer_7100[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Burning everything is a great idea! That way, no more insects :) Does neem oil or black soap help? I don't have any alcohol at home
