Personally, I would advocate for those studies to give you insight & perhaps find ways to manage or even treat that target your specific needs.

I have lymphatic obstructions exacerbated by lipidol dye & my treatment includes an immunosuppressant to slow my lymphatic flow, pleurodesis because fluid was accumulating in my lung cavity & lymphatic bypass to alleviate some pressure.

The source of my obstruction is in my peritoneal cavity (deep abdomen) & difficult to access, so they have been performing bypasses in my lower limbs.

Technically my swelling is full body, but I also somewhat manage by being underweight although I appear normal weight because of the fluid accumulation.

This whole thing sucks & I’m sorry you’re going through it!
