I believe this. I am a breast cancer survivor and I had 12 lymph nodes taken out from my right arm. I had lymphedema from it and it sucked. I had to wear a custom fitted sleeve to help keep it at bay..that sucked and was uncomfortable. I've been on tirzepatide since July and I haven't had a single incident of lymphedema...it's been amazing ❤
Great video and easy to understand. Lymphedema occurs in all areas of the body, but I find most papers/test cases only concentrate on breast cancer. I've actually been denied insurance coverage because my lymphedema didn't occur from breast cancer, but from melanoma, and didn't affect my arm but my leg! I am going to show your video to my physician, and hope she will see what I'm seeing with the use of GLP-1s, but I'm not holding my breath. I'd love to be part of your testing!!!
Amazing! I live in New Zealand, and unfortunately, here GPs even surgeons don't know that much about lymphedema...difficult situation for breast cancer survivors. I would like to take part in it.
I am hoping will help. I am taking as pre diabetic, preventing fatty liver. Also have lipedema and muscle cramps in thighs. No clue how I got lymphedema in both legs and thighs. I do have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis as well. Losing weight, using compression wraps, using pumps. Was on Mounjaro then Wegovy now on Zepbound. Can't find doctors in Northern Virginia with much knowledge. They refer you to physical therapists. Losing slowly been on for 3 years. Started at weight 223 down to 176. Need to lose 50 more pounds. Lost inches with compression wraps.
I have lipedema really bad and morbid obesity. My insurance won't cover these meds😢 im so upset. They want us to get healthy but can't help cover meds to help us. Sometimes we just need a little help.
