Our daughter, Becky, was a skinny girl. Very hyper and adgile. When she reached 2nd grade she stared gaining weight and her metabolism just died. When she was 3rd into her fourth grade she was almost 160. We tried a weight loss program and nothing helped. She was tired all the time. She is now 24 and she has symptoms of hypothyroidism and still struggles with her weight. She can't keep it off. When she was 11 maybe 12 she got lymphedema. I have posted 2 other posts about this but don't know where they went to. We are going to look for another opinion.

Have you been in touch with the National Lymphedema Network? I think you may be in the US.
