Great Lymphedema Blogs and Communities

The internet can be a magical and wonderful place, uniting those from around the world with the same interests, whether it’s a cookie cutter collector group or a lymphedema community you are looking for. Lymphedema is a disease that affects millions of people globally but it can feel isolating if you don’t know anyone else who is managing the same symptoms and challenges. There are loads of people from all walks of life who understand your daily challenges. While we can’t help the cookie cutter collectors, we can help those with lymphedema get information and find other people like them to make connections with.
