Thank you for your service. I understand I'm now going through this and I am praying for you!!
Very encouraging! Thank you for your service.
So glad your still here I know your pain I don’t feel like staying either
I know this pain. All to well. I don't know if I can do this. There's nothing that can be done
How quick did you notice it helped you?
Wow thank you for sharing this video
Yes I have a bad I get wounds on mine I've had to go to wound therapy a couple of times and had to stay in bed a lot so from staying in bed so much with it and it swelling up so big in my legs has made me where I can't walk anymore I can't hardly fix me anything to eat in the kitchen I can't wash my own clothes I can't clean the house all's I could do is sit down or stay in the bed and I can't set up for long periods of time or they start swelling up and I have to get in bed it's like I'm confined to my bed it's like a life is just stopped I can't work anymore have to be on disability and I only get half of much on disability of what I used to make working I found out not only do I have lymphedema I have both diseases lymphedema and the edema in both legs and it's chronic and there's nothing that can do for it but I'll have it for the rest of my life it sucks I can't even get my car and just go to the grocery store when I want to I don't even want to go out leave to even go drive my legs are too swollen I got one of those machines I am about to try it for the first time
Please try it. I did and thanks to the Lord God almighty I feel like I’m getting my life back.
I've used mine six days a week since 2014 or 2015, I think. My program is 45 minutes. Each leg is done separately. I may be getting another updated pair of pumps soon. It's one hour for the newer ones. Control of blood sugar, blood
pressure and sodium are culprits in my case. Need to do better job meal-planning, etc.
Thanks for your service.
How long do you have to keep it on when you use it? I heard you use it for 30 minutes. Is that correct? Thanks.
60 minutes usually
