Yes, my lymphoedema is pretty good now and I don't feel guilty asking my husband to do the lymphatic massage on my back, just grateful! He loves me feeling happy and appreciative rather than worrying about bothering him and we are both better off!
I agree that doing some exercise when you are feeling flat is the best way to reenergize but making sure that I keep a check on how I'm feeling emotionally makes such a difference for me too. I had some silly habits that needed to change if I was going to recover to the best of my ability. Hopefully I've got my head around this now!
Best wishes to you too.
