The Lymphedema Patient Roundtable: August 2025

It’s almost back-to-school season, and the August Lymphedema Patient Roundtable brought their favorite things for a show-and-tell of their must-have items for managing their lymphedema. From compression garments and elevation pillows to moisturizers and massagers, the panel covered it all!Attendees in the chat asked questions that prompted discussion on the different types of nighttime compression, tips for tolerating daytime compression, and the trial-and-error that comes along with finding what works for you and your swelling. The group also talked about practicing acceptance when living with a chronic and progressive condition, and how to adapt to new or changing symptoms without feeling discouraged.Last but certainly not least, Catherine Rosenberg updated attendees on her recent progress with her wound. Thanks to a multidisciplinary approach to wound care and Catherine’s own self-advocacy, her twenty-plus-month wound-healing journey has come to a remarkable conclusion.Thank you to tonight’s panel:Karen Ashforth, MS, OTR/L, CLT-LANA (⁠⁠⁠⁠@karenashforth_cltlana⁠⁠⁠⁠)Olivia Eggers, Lymphedema Patient (@olivianeggs)Alexa Ercolano, Lymphedema Patient and Lympha Press Marketing and Communications Specialist (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@lymphielife⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Angela Jones, Lipolymphedema Patient and Health Coach (⁠⁠⁠⁠@2018gethealthy)Catherine Rosenberg, Lymphedema Patient (⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@crosenberg1982⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠)Links and resources mentioned during the program:Olivia’s Jobst JoviPak and Relax nighttime garments, Cutimed cream mousse, and Eucerin lotionCatherine’s Juzo custom flat-knit in tie-dye, Comfiwave nighttime garment, Vashe wound solution, and cocoa butterAngela’s massage gun, dry brush, handheld roller ball massager, and Bioflect leggingsKaren’s Földi Textbook of Lymphology, low-level laser, ultraosund cavitation vacuum therapy red light machine, and Bioflect with Solidea bootiesAlexa’s Lounge Doctor leg rest and Vivaia sneakersDonning and doffing aidsNote: These products are shared by the panelists and do not constitute an endorsement by Lympha Press.This Roundtable was originally recorded live on August 12, 2025, and has been edited for time.
