Yes I have been fanatical for a long time with my massage. It's been over three years now, I still wear my garment quite a lot but it's only to my elbow. Just a bit paranoid as I live in the tropics. However I seem to have it on less and less now. Never at work which is airconditioned and only part of the day at home. Usually take it off at the end of the day to massage and it doesn't go back on until the next morning. My massages are also not as long as they used to be.
All the hard work has paid off though. I am currently vigilantly applying antibiotic cream to a small cut that has appeared on my elbow. It's amazing what having the right information can achieve. It would be great to see this new alliance that has been formed seeing free treatment and garments for all. It's nice having you on here to chat about my lymphedema to. I still think it is one of the under discussed things on this site and yet for me was a really hard thing to deal with at the time I had it really bad. Keep up the good work.
Paula :)
