Thank you! I want to thank the APTA for recognizing lymphedema and helping with this article. We, the patients with lymphedema, have a terrible time getting diagnosed and are usually 'blown off' by doctors until the condition has become so bad that it is hard to find help. People do not realize what lymphedema is and assume all patients are fat, when in fact, we carry fluid weight. We would love to be normal sized! Anyone who thinks they might have lymphedema or does have it, is welcome to join my support group, come to my website, or write me.

Sincerely, Tina Budde, Owner of Lymphland.com, Lymphland International Lymphedema Online (LILO) support group.
