A few days ago the scientific article on Phase 2 was published, confirming that "Selective leukotriene B4 antagonism is associated with improvement in overall objective and subjective measures of lymphedema. This study provides the first evidence in support of acebilustat as a novel oral therapeutic for chronic lymphedema".

No news on Phase 3 but I guess that's gonna take a bit longer. Hopefully Dr Rockson, now that the article was published, will discuss soon the results on the LEARN YouTube channel.

I don't mind wrapping my leg up. I think it's the best thing I can actually do for my lymphedema, and I can see the effects every single time (especially in my ankle which is the part that gets more swollen).

What I completely hate, though, it's rolling up the bandages. It's time consuming, I have to repeat it many times. It's actually the worst part of my lymphedema care routine.

Do you guys use any of those winders they sell (usually for boxing bandages or for horse leg wraps)? Do they work for short stretch bandages?

Any suggestion to make this activity less annoying will be highly appreciated :)

I'm kind new to making seitan myself, but I'm loving it so far. The result is actually very good, flavor wise, but with a little issue I haven't been able to solve yet, which is the texture.

My seitan is always kinda dry, and I'd like to add some juiciness to it.

The recipe I follow (it's a mix from several youtube videos) is basically the following:

- same volume of VWG and vegetable broth
- generous amount of nutritional yeast (around 20% of the VWG weight)
- various spices added to the dough

I knead the dough just a little bit, a minute or so, let it rest for 30' minutes, make it into little balls and let it simmer for 45' in broth.

So, yeah, pretty basic :)
Any advice on how to make it juicier? I really don't care about the whole "same texture as meat" thing, I just want it to be less dry, lol. Thanks a bunch!

The surgeon that will (hopefully soon enough) perform anastomoses on me suggested to switch from a class 2 to a class 3 compression stocking.

I was surprised to hear it as my lymphedema is moderate and it's stable (I actually think it's slight better now compared to the last time I saw the surgeon, 6 months ago). So I'm not sure why she didn't bring it up 6 months ago but did this time.

Still, regardless this, my question is: if at some point you had to switch from class 2 to class 3, how was the transition? Are they less comfortable? Are they hotter (summers in Barcelona are hell on earth)? Or is it basically the same thing?

Thanks for your insights
