A little over a month ago I went to visit my oldest son in the midwest. My pt also told me I needed to take my lymph machine with me. Im so glad she did. I needed it every day and was constantly getting up and pacing to ease the pain in my legs. I missed my vibration plate alot the whole 10 days I was gone. I had a little problem with excessive swelling pain and aches but survivable. I am getting ready to head east for a family members wedding and will be gone about 7 days. I am most definitely taking my lymph machine with me. I also bought a massage gun to see if that helps with the cramps and pains while I am gone. You are not alone in the fatigue department. Its hard to explain to people that I only have so much energy for the day and when my body says its had enough it pretty much just shuts down on me. I have my good days and my bad days but things will never go back to normal I dont think
Thank you, Karla! You perfectly describe the fatigue and how our body shuts down after we've expended our energy for the day. I'm betting many women with Lipedema feel the same way as we do.
I also have a vibration plate and I wish I could take that on flights! I got a massage trigger gun back in January. I don't use it as often because it is painful, but it's supposed to help break up that fibrosis and also relieve pain overall. However, my lymph machine is the best way for managing my edema. I'll use it as long as 2-3 hours at a time, and whenever I feel my legs need it. Worth every penny!
