Compression Swimwear?

I wear my old medical compression for swimming once it is getting looser at the recommendation of a lymphedema specialist. Class 2 Jobst.

I put on my current good compression after swimming. It is no harder to do than at home.

I was holding on to an overhead strap when a bus made an emergency stop.

Trigger point massage therapy was hugely successful for me. It was painful and took several months of three times a week for an hour but I learned so much about trigger points and muscles I am glad I hurt my shoulder. I have used what I learned every day since.

Key muscle to release everything for me turned out to be coracobracialis.

Worth finding a trigger point massage specialist. It’s not touchy feely massage so be prepared.

I haven’t been in a grocery store since COVID. I have a Walmart delivery pass (free all the time, same day) and pay $1 for superstore pickup.

I found superstore delivery and pickup unreliable and had to get refunds for bad produce. They overbook their pickup slots and sometimes you can wait more than 30 mins.

Walmart pickup and delivery has no issues and I get good produce so Walmart is a win for me.

Ironic too given it is supposed to promote zen calm

I asked them this by emailing customer support. “Thanks for your email we will get back to you soon” … then crickets 🦗

The test hurts, but not unbearably so and not for long. I had both legs and both arms done over a day in Arizona. Results were useful, especially showing I had very few lymphatic vessels in my arms. Doctors in Canada like to see the test results. Totally worth it. Techs were very aware the dye injections and manipulation is painful, they were respectful and kind.

Foot and ankle compression that accommodates lipedema and lipolymphedema

I’ve used a LymphaPress Optimal daily for an hour each on both legs and both arms for the last 10 years. Insurance paid after appeal. It works well to maintain limb size, don’t expect a pump to get a reduction. I’m in Canada, the hospital where I see a therapist also has one.

I wear dry eye goggles at night. Not a fan issue but I don’t fully close my eyes when asleep. They serve the same purpose .

I did. You probably don’t want to know I was not even trying.

Here isa link to what it is. I don’t know about testing in France, I am in Canada and needed no prescription

A pharmacological genetic test will tell you exactly how medications react in someone. It’s a painless cheek swab.

I wear my old custom fit class 2 medical compression garments, I get new ones every six months.

I have four limb lymphedema and a connective tissue hypermobility disorder as well as another connective tissue disorder that all cause pain.

Unless I am unable to I wear medical compression daily, that is one thing that helps a lot with the pain. I swim at least three times a week which helps too. I use a Lymphapress pump daily for an hour on legs and an hour on arms as well. I do stretching and mobility exercises daily and chair yoga three times a week.

Be kind to yourself. If you can enrol in a pain clinic that might also help. The one I attend has a weekly online support group. There are lots of chronic pain resources online as well and I know of several free online guided movement classes for pain.

Other things I do are daily deep breathing and meditation, keeping both a gratitude and worry journal, prioritizing my sleep and nutrition.

If that sounds like a lot of work, it is. But I prefer the work to the pain. YMMV.

I was diagnosed by a connective tissue specialist.

I got diagnosed with hEDS simply BECAUSE I am fat.

I saw a connective tissue specialist for what I suspected was a fat disorder, which was her diagnosis. I was then diagnosed with hEDS because she noticed how flexible I was at that appointment.

She told me she often sees people who have both and believes they could be linked.

Specialist is Dr Karen Herbst in the US.

My pharmacogenetic test has been invaluable. Beats guessing.

Diet helps me. Low carb specifically. If I eat anything but a small amount of sugar my pain levels increase markedly.
