About LE&RN
The Lymphatic Education & Research Network (LE&RN) is an internationally recognized non-profit organization founded in 1998 to fight lymphatic disease (LD) through education, research, and advocacy. Lymphatic diseases include lymphedema (LE), lipedema, and lymphatic anomalies. LE&RN is equally committed to investigating preventive and therapeutic benefits for a broad array of diseases that are impacted by lymphatic function, such as heart disease, obesity, AIDS, Rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and cancer metastasis.
To accomplish these goals, LE&RN sponsors research fellowship grants, an international patient registry and biorepository, live-stream symposiums, the peer-reviewed journal Lymphatic Research & Biology, weekly e-newsletters, scholarship grants to lymphedema therapists, conference travel awards to young researchers, and a vibrant website with features such as Ask the Experts, connecting patients with the field’s more renowned practitioners. LE&RN has Chapters and Centers of Excellence globally. In 2016, LE&RN created World Lymphedema Day on March 6th, which was established by unanimous vote of the United States Senate.

I have leg lymphedema as a result of an ankle injury and medical drug therapy for Pulmonary Hypertension. No treatment or therapy is available in my area. No clinics or specialists in my region will see me as my Lymphedema is NOT a result of cancer. I am beyond frustrated and becoming rather depressed about my future

Believe me I know what you mean. The Doctors who I ask about this disease look at me like, "Don't ask me, I don't know a thing about it"! You would think that if there are 5 Million + in this country with Lymphedema, that there would be more Doctors who would know about this disease. And yes it is frustrating, and depressing.

I know how incredibly discouraging it can be - I have lower limb lymphedema in my left leg (primary/secondary) and its been a journey, but don't give up hope on yourself and the work these amazing scientists are doing! So many people care to help and heal us, even if so many others don't know about lymphedema. I hope you make some progress in finding treatment - but in the meantime keep wearing those compression socks and I find nightly massage helpful!

I am in same therapy. I have a pt person but I think we all need to get one of those scans to see where our blockage is so that we can get better treatment.
