What is lymphoedema? A deep dive…

Posted on by

Courtesy of our resident physio, Élodie:

A deep dive into the plumbing of your body. We hope to provide alternative language versions, but if you are a tech-whizz, or know one, you may be able to persuade your smart phone to provide a simultaneous translation for yourself. If you do share how you did it with your friends here in the comments.

This video is included in Élodie’s Lymphobook – do have a closer look.

Good morning!

Welcome to Lymph4kids and Lymph4parents!

We are here to have fun, to learn, to encourage each other, but not to lead you up the garden path unless it is to have fun? We are here to serve each other, let us do so as each one struggles in a different way with the complexities of this condition which we call lymphœdema.

The administrators hope you enjoy – enjoy a visit to a website you say? would we not prefer to sit in a comfortable place and converse with others of like and dissimilar minds over coffee and cake, or chocolate and truffles, ice-cream or gelato, or simply with a glass and those rock hard scones that your grandmother makes?

Well, whether you enjoy it or not, please contribute, please comment, please add material.

Comments are moderated before being published, so please also be patient!

Videos:

There is a standard upload limit of 2mb on this site, so it is difficult (not impossible) to upload large videos. The video of the Italian camp is nearly 200mb. I have uploaded it to this site using a back door. This should only ever be done by administrators not general editors or contributors. The very short videos on the Montpellier posts (here and here) are under the limit, but little more than animated graphics, There are (at least) three other ways to display videos here:

  • Link to an external site – any site where the video is located and we have permission to use it
  • YouTube
  • Vimeo

On both Vimeo and YouTube a channel is required (ILF have one on YouTube already), Videos may be marked Private (ie for here) or Public (you can find them by searchingYoutube). Examples of the same video are below.


Video held on a random external site – no guarantee that it will remain at the same location.


Embedded YouTube video. The splash screen has been set differently here than in the other two.
