Topic: It's not my fault!!!!!!!!!
I started my lymph-edema treatment today, and my therapist is a real witch!!!! (exchange the W with a B) All she kept talking about was for me to exorcise and lose weight and my lymph-edema is due to my weight!!!!
I have gained about 110 lbs since last November, and it certainly is NOT what I am eating. I have digestive problems so I eat mostly soft foods like low fat yogurt, peanut butter and banana sandwiches and Slim Fast. Lately, I have even gained 14 lbs in one week! My primary care doc said it is most definitely due to my lymph-edema swelling out of control. My lymph specialist said it is from what I am eating and not exercising.
She said my weight is crushing my lymphatic system and that is why I have lymph-edema! I lost 120 lbs and had a panniculectomy. Last year, I looked so darn good! Then I started getting migraine headaches and was tried on a couple of meds. The one that worked was Amitriptaline. Problem is, weight gain is a side effect. I cannot take anymore meds for it because I am allergic to most pain meds and others interfere with my blood thinning med. When I lost all that weight, I was thinner all over, except for my legs. I saw my doctor and that was when I was diagnosed with Lymph-edema.
I now have lymph in both of my legs which makes it very uncomfortable to walk, and then started getting it in my arms. My lymph specialist insists that it is not only lymph edema, but fat too, and the fat is making my lymph worse. She keeps brow-beating me that it I need to lose weight, I should have kept losing weight and not stop at 283. (that was my lowest weight in a while. I was over 400 and got sick which is why I lost 120 lbs) She even told me that what happened to me,(getting sick and losing weight) was a good thing! Uh excuse me????!!!!! No one should stay sick just because they are losing weight as a result! I missed out on Christmas dinner, Thanksgiving, social gatherings. etc. And she has the gall to say that was a GOOD thing!!!!
Plus, she is only going to wrap one leg at a time! So, now I am going to walk around with a thinner leg and a huge one!!! Unfortunately, I have to stick with this @#!$itch because I am on a really long waiting list anywhere else, and I almost can't fit into clothes anymore due to my lymph.
Sorry for the long post. I am so angry to tears!!!

Hey there,
I had my surgery at UMass coming up on two years ago almost. Great place, people and doctors. It took about 9 months from the time I went to the orientation until I had the surgery. It is worth the wait! Hang in there and best of luck to you!!
