It’s gettin hot, Hot, HOT!
Yes, it’s finally here…the sun and hot weather we’ve been waiting for! However, there are many who wish differently, especially those who have lymphedema (edema for short), an abnormal swelling of the body.
Usually in the arm or leg, edema can have many causes; it may arise during an abnormality at birth or due to disruption of the lymph system sometime later. You can visit our website to read more details about this subject.
People with edema face more problems during hot temperatures versus cooler temperatures. For most, the heat causes more swelling to occur, making it more difficult to manage the swelling and to stay comfortable.
I found a great article from the National Lymphedema Network, which gives you tips on how to stay cool and manage during these sizzling summer days —-> Cool Tips For A Hot Summer
