National NLN Conference

Last month I returned from the NLN conference for healthcare providers in San Diego overwhelmed by all the new developments.  If you are a lymphedema patient and in the regular care of a lymphedema therapist, you should ask him or her about the FlexiTouch system, which handles self-MLD if you or a caregiver cannot perform the gentle massage effectively.   I tested out the system and it felt so good.  Also, ask your therapist about the latest in compression pumps for keeping lymphedema under control.  And there are some very cool compression sleeves in vibrant colors and fabrics now on the market.
