Re: lymphadema!

I used a tribute sleeve by Solaris for several years and it worked wonderfully. It was prescribed by my lymphedema therapist and she did the measurements. It is a made-measure-garment. I wore a garment at night and also a garment during the day and can say that my lymphadema is now under control and I don't need to wear anything. I continue to get monthly massages from a massage therpist that I believe help me out as well.

Good luck to you!

Re: lymphadema!

These guys make awesome custom made sleeves, good quality and very durable. I have used them since 2007 and they wear well and are comfortable. If I swell really bad then go back to wrapping at night. I also found at that after weekly herceptin since 3/06, my cardiologist put me on low dose of diovan and hctz which helped dramatically as well.

Goodluck
