***My Lymphedema, Lymphatic, Edema, Medical Blogs***

My Life with Lymphedema

Front line personal blog on lymphedema which includes many inspirational articles and writings as well. Find information, support and most importantly hope. Life is not a requiem for that which we can not do, but a celebration for that which we can. **NOTE:** Someone has stolen this name and created their own blog in another blog site, please understand it is no way connected to me and I am really saddened that a fellow lympher has done somthing so dishonest as to try and deceive people thatbecause of the name I started it and operate it. Please don't be deceived. My Life with Lymphedema at Blogger.com is the ONE and ONLY one operated by me.
