ABOUT MY BLOG

This blog is not only a personal diary, but a public sharing of my journey as a dancer, living with lymphoedema. I am currently 26 and have had my symptoms of lymphoedema for 10 years. I have received and am continually receiving various treatments to assist my condition. I aim to raise awareness of not just the physical implications of lymphoedema but the mental and emotional consequences too.

​

I have primary lymphoedema praecox and wear a Class 3 thigh high Medi Forte round knit made-to-measure compression garment, replacing 2 every 6 months. Alongside this I practice various other self management techniques and external treatments detailed throughout this page.
