I found a lymphedema treatment area around me that they will do compression therapy and manual lymph drainage massages. It's just gathering the money to go now

My primary gave me my lab results. Confirmed lymphedema. Then says, you are severely obese. Stop eating and you’ll feel better… like, dude! I’ve been starving myself. It’s obviously not working!!! I need to see a specialist!
