Hi Goodtimes - the forum seems to be mainly inhabited by residents of the UK, as the site is managed by the UK Lymphoedema Support Network.

Recommend you contact the NLN (National Lymphedema Network) lymphnet.org/ for advice about services in the US.

I would encourage you to avoid venepuncture (acupuncture/IV meds etc) in your legs and the acupuncturist should have been aware of this. Sadly there is no 'cure' for the condition yet - but watch this space as lots of options are being studied to try and relieve the symptoms.

Thanks for your kind words..I will be going to Suncare in Miami who treats Lymph patients it has amazed me how our Dr's take this lightly and have no clue on treating it.

This site might help goodtimes - although please remember that for most lymphoedema is a long term condition so cure is unlikely
