When is access going to be fair to appropriate medical treatment as surely oedema means heart related when classic heart failure symptoms ignored .Yet if Microvascular the system pretends there is nothing wrong till too late.This is as it discriminates using age, weight , gender & status by controlling constitution of Boards & Governing Bodies .If Vulnerable couldn't care less ?

Why does compression remind me of Chinese women having bound feet to restrict .Surely a Me.too situation too when lip- lympphoedema & one has had to endure the roll on from pubity now 71 yrs they end up round my neck ?! Here in uk we have CCG deciding who has access to treatment so discriminate by using Mcmillan Nurses who don't want to know unless it is not a secondary likewise the Experts too ?
