Lymphedema is a disease that affects the lymphatic system in the body, which is the part of the circulatory system responsible for carrying a liquid around the body called lymph. Lymph and your lymphatic system on a whole houses your white blood cells, which, as you may know, produce antibodies that kill germs. Some people are born with lymphedema, which is called primary lymphedema. This happens when the person's lymphatic system is not fully developed at birth. Then there is secondary lymphedema, which happens when outside factors such as injury, radiation, or infection damages your lymphatic system. Lymphedema can also occur as one of the ugly side effects of cancer treatment. Lymphedema is a chronic condition, and the treatment for the disease is complex. The good news is that the suffering you experience can be limited, and throughout this ebook, you will be guided with lots of tips and suggestions for how to live with and treat your lymphedema.

Primary Lymphedema has run in my family for generations. It can be traced back to my fourth great grandmother in Ireland. The story that has been passed down is that she used a dining chair turned with the back toward her as a walker to assist her when she was doing things around the house. My great grandfather was a postman in Iowa and in his feet all day. His daughter, my grandmother, said that he would cry every night as she helped him take his boots off of his swollen feet. My grandmother and mother also had lymphedema, as do I. I first noticed mine when I was about sixteen years old and my ankles would start swelling when I had been in my feet all day. Years later, I also developed idiopathic neuropathy which has been a painful complication with the lymphedema. Over the years I've researched and tried many different therapies and have developed a system that works well for me

I liked the book. Lots of good, solid, information. Nothing that I didn't already know, but great for someone recently diagnosed with lymphedema.

A little too simplistic, but I had done quite a bit of research prior to reading.
