Merry Lymphmas from the December Lymphedema Patient Roundtable! The holidays can sometimes be a difficult time, not just in managing our lymphedema but navigating the mental or emotional pangs of the season as well. The panel talked about some ways they handle these challenges, with attendees chiming in to share their own holly jolly tips.

From vibration plates, massage guns, and infrared blankets to the effects of alcohol on lymphedema, the conversation covered topics both naughty and nice! To wrap up the evening, everyone shared what they are asking “Lymphedema Santa” for this year and offered warm wishes for the new year ahead.
