      So Sorry to hear about your wife. She sounds like a very special person and so do you!

      I have been going to a Lymphadema specialist who puts my leg in a pump similar to the Flexitouch.

      Is the Flexi covered by your insurance? I have Kaiser and they won't cover it. Do you excercise? I still do but anything I do makes it swell- it's just swimming that doesn't.

      Hi Stan,

       

      Thanks for getting back to me and the input. Did you develop any lymphadema and if so how are you managing it?

      I have it in my leg. It has made everything quite challenging to say the least. I like to take Ballet and it has made it pretty challenging. Swimming seems to be the best thing and elevation ot course but it's hard to elevate it when you have to live your life- Drive, work, etc…

      Anyways- thanks for sharing your story!

      Hi Debbie,

      Thank you so much for getting back to me. I was wondering what your experience with Interferon was like? Do you mind telling me about it? Side effects, etc…

      Thank you,

      Rebecca
