I hope something good happens for you soon. I am finding myself in a similar situation as soon as we try garments instead of 24/7 faerie wraps and its bloody hot here in australia and some days I want to find a rock to crawl under and hide. I'll make room under my rock if ud like to hide too -u lol!

Hi Wendy I wish you all the best with your wraps for 2014 I hope you manage something - perhaps we should invent wraps with cooling agent in them so are legs font get over hot and swell. (Shrugs) Dont know the answer good luck with finding that rock !! xgins

I understand how you feel completely. I had quite a reduced lymphoedema in my arm, when I woke up one day with the lower part of my arm hard and enlarged and now my hand doesn't look good either. I have the feeling that the situation worsened, in my case because I started massaging my arm in the swimming pool and I might have infected it (I was told to take antibiotics too as there were some pink patches and part of the arm felt warm). When I mentioned to the lymphoedema nurse, she dismissed it but for the time being, I am left waiting for the MLD to start at the beginning of next month unless I decide to spend £50 (!) per session until then. Now swimming doesn't seem to make any difference. So let's hope, this accumulation of fluid will miraculously subside as it appeared, all of a sudden!

I am sending a virtual hug to you!

So sorry to hear this hope the bandaging works better next time. It is really hard on your confidence, hope you have lots of people supporting you. Take care and good luck x
