Its good to find this forum, someones that could understand me

Its all started when I was with 7 years old or less, my foot got swollen when I was travelling long distances.
Year after year, very slowly its appeared. But only in long distances and in very hot weather.
I learned to hide my feet when they're hyper swelling, to escape the questions of people of what happened.
I did several tests, cardiac (normal), circulatory (normal) and Varis (also normal). I'm overweight, but I've seen people much fatter than me with skinny ankles.
Till 37 years old I thought that I was the only person in the world that surfer with this trouble. There I found one woman, I just looked her lags and I recognized the ankles. She told me that she had a good and a bad news for me: The good one was that it was just an visual effect and the bad one was that it had no cure.
Some year after this I was travelling across the Europe by buss, and my legs were so swollen that I began to feel difficulty to feel my foot fingers. And I went all travel with they up, but without results. After this I went to a doctor that said to me to put my lags up when I was sleeps. I did it for years but with no results. When I put them down they swollen automaticly.
In other travel I discovered by myself that if I compress my feet I kept the dimensional control of it. Then I always use a shoe tight on them, during the travels.
I leave in Brazil and I speak portuguese, dont have that option in this forum

Well when the weather is cold I, sometimes, forgot that I have this lymphedema, I feel normal, I can see my ankles bone


Today I really thought to take a diuretic. And I started to search in internet if it was good for lymphedema trouble (all the people who knows me suggest this) and, takes God, I found this forum that told me for don't do this.
Any idea, or we have to let it go on and become conformed with this swelling situation?
Ill translate all your forum, someday, I have a little difficulty to understand some terms but Ill get it.
Its good to know you. I hope that we can exchange ideas and experiences.
