Managing Lymphedema without Medication

Since I started on the keto diet in 2016 I've lost 148 lbs and am off every medication, except thyroid, and water pills don't work for lymphedema. I rarely swell anymore since I've removed all foods that cause swelling. It's a hard diet, but worth having my life back.

I did alot better getting wrapped, but I can't wrap myself. If i wrap myself it messes with my stomach thats swollen and its always pissed off...im constantly in bathroom as it is. I have blisters allover my lower legs badly! There's one lymphedema clinic around here. Money first. So I'm kinda stuck...

So what are you supposed to take if not water pills?

I've have lymphedema in my right thigh it started back in 2003 but I just started treatment for it this year. I was to scared and embarrassed to go see a doctor.

My dermatologist is the one that diagnosed me with lymphedema. She said she doesn't like to use water pills for my condition. How long have you been taking waterfalls? I have suffered with this since early 90s and am now just been under care for a couple months. They are ordering a compression machine for my home health care. I see a therapist one time a week. I was also wearing compression socks. I have the toe less ones and that caused my toes to blow up and break out in blisters.
