This is great that you have created this and wanted to share that we have come a long way with creating more awareness in the SA medical community about Lymphoedema Treatment and Management. I am the President of the Lymphoedema Association of South Africa and our Vision is Lymphoedema Care for ALL. Please visit www.laosa.co.za and there is now a listing of all of our members and you can find a specialist in many areas of South Africa and Zimbabwe. Last year I started Lymphatic Education Africa and have been busy training and certifying Physios, OT's, Nurses, Doctors and Orthotists about proper Lymphoedema Treatment. www.lymphafrica.com I had my own practice in Miami, FL for over 15 years but my husband is South African and wanted to move back home....so we did and I really love it here! So please share this information far and wide as we are really trying to help as many people as we can by creating more awareness! We are not planning our LAOSA AGM for March 2017 in Johannesburg and we really want to try to have a patients day...as 6 March is the International Lymphoedema Awareness Day. So if you or anyone you know wants to get involved please let me know. Any questions you can contact me at suzi@lymphafrica.com or 0615238818.<br />Best Regards<br />Suzi DaveySuzi Daveyhttp://www.laosa.co.zanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525418211848502953.post-25545717529721424962016-09-09T17:28:09.270+02:002016-09-09T17:28:09.270+02:00Hi Gillian.

Initially you will have to see her/him 2-3 times per week. She can teach you how to do the maintenance program by yourself after about a month. It includes wearing a compression sleeve from time to time and wearing bandages and do your exercises regularly.

No, not cured cos don't respond well to meds and many, both natural stuff eg peppermint oil, and prescription stuff, often make it worse. Or help for about 5 to 10 days then revert back. Could write a book about my experiences. Ask more questions if you want.

Its quite sad to think there is no actual support system or group that one can contact for this conditions support. My sister has also been trying to get this condition put down as a chronic disease on her medical aid but its been a struggle. The treatment for this disease is very expensive and to go for a minimum of 3 massages a week for lymph drainage is very hefty and she hasnt been able to go for quite some time due to overbooking, and the fees. Do you know of any kind of support system/group that she can be directed to as we're kind of at our witts end. <br /><br />Thanks in advance, Shantall<br />phenom5001https://www.blogger.com/profile/04176658442090332556noreply@blogger.com
