Born with Lymphedema

Born with Lymphedema

Here’s an article about twin boys and Lymphedema. One was born with Lymphedema. The other one wasn’t, although he could develop it at any time in his life. It shows how ridiculous this chronic illness can be, affecting one child but not the other, the kid that is affected for no rhyme or reason.

Outlines how expensive treatment and garments can be, and how little the medical community knows about it. I went for years hearing the words I don’t know and you’ll just have to live with it.

 
Excellent read.
