Lymphedema garments in the heat grrrr
Spent a good 10 mins in the Cairns heat putting my garment on today, only to realise at the last minute that it was inside out grrr
It is a soft seamless one so didn't realise until the very end that the silicon grips at the top was on the outside..

- mum2jjMemberThankyou to all you lovely ladies for your beautiful comments. Have barely had time to scratch myself these past couple of days. My measures are the same in some places but much improved in others. My "aldex" measure... I think it's called that was upto 14 last year from a usual negative measure. By the time I had my new garments last time and after lots of hard work with massage and wearing long garment again it was down to 5, Well oon Tuesday it was negative 0.5. I am taking this as a big win. Still in long garment but can alternate with shorter one that I used to wear which I have slowly been doing this last month. Still massaging daily... It's really a long term thing, but happy with the 1 1/2 cm loss in my arm and the low aldex reading. You ladies are awesome xxx

- mum2jjMemberThanks girls, I am usually pretty good but just got me yesterday!! I am due for measures on Tuesday. I am hoping my diligence with massage and wearing of my garment has helped improve my measures after the sudden shock increase 6 months ago after being stable for so long.
Fingers crossed.
