So I found out today that the black spot in my vision is officially permanent and that if my medicine doesn't start working again at a higher dose, then I will need a stent/shunt placed in my head. Brain surgery scares me so much, but it's impossible to function every day if I don't somehow get my head pressure managed 😞 send me positive vibes and well wishes pls, it sounds like I might need it 🖤

I used my crutches again today.
I wasn’t in too much pain to use them. Of course I’m in pain, but I just picked them up to put them away, and I got curious.
It didn’t feel like defeat - like it did back in September, when I re-injured myself.
It felt like…relief. And I am ashamed.
Every time I sit in the disabled seating on a train, I feel like a fraud, even though the thick line at the base of my spine would prove to anyone that I need to sit down.
Would continuing to use crutches help me, or make me weaker?
I’ve heard of low-mobility disabled people having to only sometimes use crutches or wheelchairs, and get called frauds.
I don’t think I’m that “bad.” I should be walking. I’m still on pain meds around the clock, but I shouldn’t be needing these. But they feel so much…better.
Can the disabled community please help me out with some insight? Please?

Probably going to have to get spine surgery, potentially a fusion, but I won’t know until next week
My hips are finally better, and I have one more surgery tomorrow to get hardware out
I’m so fucking tired of this, but I have to push through, doesn’t matter that it’s my sixth surgery within a year (not a calendar year)

Tbh it really is something to have grandmothers (one late 70s other late 80s) who are in better shape than you are, like I go see my grandma and we walk somewhere and i'll be panting before she's even slightly out of breath and it's not like she's in the best of conditions either, and then don't even get me started on my other grandma, she still does sports.

Some Notes from Real Life:
We have had many visitors of late. My in-laws were talking about a bloke they've discovered called Steven Moffat, who wrote the sitcom Coupling and "that thing with Benedict Cumberbatch in". I would like to watch Coupling actually because I know some of my besties were watching it while I was away teaching in 2012, but vaguely remember that the first DVD of S1 went missing. This lead to me wondering if I have somehow had it this entire time. But I doubt it, because I would've known I'd borrowed it for The Abroad at the time.
My husband collected his Next shirt, which gives the overall impression of the same dark purple as The Shirt of Sex (of which he knows not), but a little sadly is actually woven from navy and pink threads. His comment: "it just looks purple to me."
In other marital news, it turns out that my husband has already watched most of The Responder starring Martin Freeman. Last year, with my mum! Not really, I was having a particular extremity of health crisis at the time. But they never finished and now I'm waiting for him to figure out how much he's seen so we can finish it together. Still though, is it not just a bit cheeky to have watched most of a series starring an actor I didn't yet know I cared about?
My husband has agreed in principle that when we finish House MD we can watch Fortysomething - a British sitcom in which Hugh Laurie plays a troubled British doctor. For fun, I have not mentioned that Benedict Cumberbatch plays the son. We're also watching the second season of The Traitors UK. Americans please be advised that it has a VERY different vibe to the US version, with all contestants unknown members of the public and teamwork actually expected!
My online film group has voted to watch the classic Clue this month. I'm looking forward to it, and thankfully the other members have agreed to basically just watch them chat on Zoom like a TV programme and submit my comments the next day. This is due to me constantly getting overexcited by it and giving myself a subsequent and dangerous ME/CFS flare.
As for sole viewing, I have begun the BBC miniseries of Dracula by Moffat and Gatiss (available on Netflix but not iplayer, somehow.) I'm enjoying it but can't help feel frustrated at the egregious amount of ignored opportunities to bloody well stake him. Growing up with Buffy really spoiled me in that regard. I am much looking forward to being able to watch @victorianpining 's Youtube video on it when I'm done.
However, given that I have less than a month of my free AppleTV+ subscription remaining, I need to focus my viewing efforts there. I've started Ted Lasso and have sampled The Studio and The Morning Show. I realised this morning that I've also got exactly one month of my National Theatre at Home pass remaining, so I need to watch as much theatre as possible! We really have been trying, but we're both always exhausted so it's just so tempting to stick The Traitors or House on again of an eve. Today I'm starting Present Laughter, because Andrew Scott.
Most dramatically, it turns out I might be getting an additional viewing partner soon.
In the process of messaging my enby femme friend the other day they revealed that they're about to become mostly bedbound too, for at least a couple of months. Initially I panicked, but the only reason I could think of aside from double leg breakage by drug dealers or some such, which seems extremely unlikely, was bottom surgery, and I was right. It's they/she now as well as Nickname/Femme Name.
I admit I was a little surprised, as she/they had told me initially that they considered themselves more at the feminine end of the spectrum, but I just didn't realise something so dramatic was on the cards. Sadly I've barely seen them in years because of my horrendous health and because of geography. We've never really talked about them being trans, aside from me asking if we were they/theming them or what the craic was going forward ahead of a big birthday party- which I was then too ill to attend.
Said friend has always been gender non-conforming, and after a brief visit during which said friend had a slightly different physical presentation and made me watch Project Runway until 3am, a mutual friend told me they'd come out as non-binary. I'll spare you the whole shebang no pun intended, but their presentation has become more and more femme and they've apparently been on hormones for several years. Including the time I visited and was like "so... I thought you were just doing flares forever but now it's skinny jeans eh? When did that happen?" and we watched an American present a dress made of birdseed.
Anyway, I've been researching the surgery and trying not to think about that period film in which Eddie Redmayne has a womb implant and subsequently dies- it's based on a true story. Even with the miracles of modern medicine, it really does baffle me how anyone can think that adults with full mental capacity would go through such a process on a whim, were that even available! I have to say that while I absolutely support my friend and trust their judgement, the thought of someone I love having such an extreme operation and recovery period is slightly harrowing. Especially because I honestly, perhaps ignorantly, didn't know they wanted it.
Anyway, learning of the intensive recovery period that may be needed has made me feel useful in being able to give tips on becoming mostly bedbound at least. I've also offered to invite said friend into my online film group and to watch and discuss a series with them. Perhaps they'll want to watch Coupling again!

tw it's a medical update. I talk about surgery
it's official! I need brain surgery.
for all the new faces I can't see, I have idiopathic intracranial hypertension. I have since I was 15, but it wasn't diagnosed and treated until I was 25. for a full decade, I had a migraine that did not let up and no one could figure out why. to be fair, what skinny, barely-scraping-100lbs 15 year old develops IIH? I was taking acetazolamide for it, but unfortunately my kidneys are now chicken fried and I currently have Acceptable™ kidney function.
I'm going to have a ventriculoperitoneal shunt placed. I don't have a date yet, but I expect it to be sometime in the first few months of the new year. it will be risky, but better than permabanning my kidneys and taking one from my brother.
I am,,,,, exhausted. every time I feel like I'm finally on top of my health, something goes catastrophically wrong. thank god for friends willing to stick it out with me through the inconsistency <3

one of the culprits here in the public obliviousness about covid is that medical science has completely failed to integrate the fact that infections and injuries have permanent effects into wider culture. it has been documented and known for decades that narcolepsy follows viral and bacterial infections but most doctors wont mention this to you and many of them dont even know about it. every single time you get strep throat, an ear infection, the flu, food poisoning, a bonk on the head, major surgery, sepsis, or cold sores, you have a N% chance to develop permanent disability from it. the 'shit happens' principle of medical science has been seemingly purposefully erased from the public consciousness and im not entirely sure why. american litigiousness and the drug testing process maybe. getting food poisoning from someone not washing their hands before making your meal at a restaurant can not just kill you, but it can give you a permanent chronic illness like narcolepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, gastroparesis, whatever. instead of this just being common knowledge we have this bizarre concept of diseases as being ineffable and irresistible but simply an inconvenience all good citizens must endure

We gotta find out if looking for holes in the heart would help more of us, the dysautonomia and connective tissue disorder and long covid sufferers. (and more, and more)
This congenitally incomplete heart ("atrial septal defect," in my case), with just a little, diffificult-to-detect hole in it ("heart shunt"), is frequently comorbid with/possibly caused by connective tissue disorders.
(hmmmm, so is dysautonomia)
We all get our hearts thoroughly checked during diagnostics because heart damage could cause some of these symptoms. But they NEVER LOOK for this particular issue ("bubble test" during echocardiogram), because surely if you had a heart defect, it would have been found before now.
(I'm 45, by the way. This is the first year anyone has ever checked if I have a heart shunt. My POTS diagnosis was over a decade ago; they all assured me that my heart was completely normal.)
Even if you have a heart shunt, where blood leaks between heart chambers, well "20% of people have one, this isn't causing your (symptoms of heart damage)"
(how many of those 20% are *US*? Or people who could be US, if they had a virus hit just wrong, like Epstein-Barr/mono, flu, or.... *drumroll* covid?)
And how many times have you tried to get more fit, got to where you thought you could really do some of the activities you desperately wanted to do, and suddenly crashed? ... and then could never get to that level of fitness again? Like something was damaged further, like something inside broke a little more and your very best is now less than it was a week ago.
Or you had a physically difficult activity like moving house, and afterwards you were never as able as before the move, because maybe the extra bodily stress really did add a tiny tear to a tiny, minor, miniscule existing injury in just the wrong place.
Or you just suddenly couldn't do the same amount of activity any more, out of the blue, because something damaged your heart a touch more but they assured you your heart was solid, it's just the dysautonomia.
More than one hole. I've been walking around with more than one hole in the inner walls of my heart. ToShredsYouSay.jpg
Tumblr media
Before surgery on Oct 2, I was walking 3 steps at a time then resting for hours. Yesterday, Oct 13, my fitbit recorded 4221 steps. How far will I improve? How much of my dysautonomia symptoms, how much of my fatigue and pain, was
A FUCKENING HOLE IN MY HEART??
Cardiac surgeon: "There was more than one hole."
strongly recommend against dislocating additional rib when getting open heart surgery
recommend against having rib re-locate by having unadjusted bipap mask pressed to face and inflating lungs too much
also recommend against discovering new vomit-level meds allergies when coping with open heart surgery and rib trying to re-dislocate
Tristan's Fetch and Tug Buddy: "You went through open heart surgery on hard mode."
There's no place like home.

It took me nearly 15 years to get my endometriosis diagnosis and comprehensive treatment, but I recognize I’m super privileged in being able to access care where I live from one of the top doctors in endometriosis research(specifically endometriosis in adolescents, but his research spans all age groups). I want to share some of the things I learned, along with study sources he linked me to, so others can advocate to their providers for the care they need. So without further ado:
✨ What I Wish I Knew About Endometriosis 15 Years Ago ✨
No amount of pain is “normal”
Don’t get gaslit into thinking “everyone” who has periods goes through pain. Seek treatment - you deserve better.
Diagnosis/treatment is kinda a pain, even with a doc who takes you seriously
The general course of action for diagnosis/treatment will be attempt treatment through OTC painkillers (Tylenol, Midol, etc), attempt at least 1-2 forms of hormonal birth control(typically oral contraceptive/birth control pill or the ring/patch/shot), then decide with your doctor whether to pursue either further hormone treatments, such as GnRH(which suppress estrogen/can help stop progression of endo) or an IUD, and/or surgical intervention where they go in and find/remove the existing lesions.
Surgery for me took a couple hours, and I had an IUD placed during the operation(at recommendation of my doc). Full recovery was around 2 weeks. Its worth noting right now you can technically only be diagnosed through surgery.
You may have to mix-and-match to find the right solution.
Only 33% of people with endometriosis in a recent controlled study saw significant improvement by IUD alone, as compared to IUD with supplementary hormonal treatment(like oral birth control or hormone inhibitors). Source: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1083318812002379
Some options may actually make it worse. Keep an eye on your symptoms.
Studies show that estrogen based treatments can potentially exacerbate endometriosis and promote endometrial growth, so treatments without estrogen or with specific types of estrogen are more recommended. Source: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5683134/
Its Got Hella Comorbidities
Fibromyalgia, scoliosis, arthritis, thyroid disease, migraines, chronic fatigue, and bowel disease(IBS, crohn’s, celiac, etc), and more are all potential associations/comorbitities. It’s also worth noting that having any of these in your family history may also put you at higher risk for endo. As my doc said - you’re not guaranteed to get all, or even any, of these, but they’re things to keep an eye out for. Sources:
IBS: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9357916/
IBD/Crohns: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32629225/
Celiac: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24992792/
Thyroid: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10234359/
Migraine: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38436302/
Painful Bladder Syndrome: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3015716/
EDS: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0002937824001637
Arthritis: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35258592/
Scoliosis: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9238674/
TMJ: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10144081/
Kidney Stones: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9108729/
POTS: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3413773/
Fibromyalgia: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30682223/
Chronic Fatigue: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6537603/
Sjogren’s Syndrome: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39083399/
Bonus Advice
No published studies exist showing any increase/decrease of symptoms between usage of different menstrual products. Do whatever makes you most comfortable!
For OTC pain management, Tylenol or Aleve may be your best bets over Advil, based on their anti-inflammatory nature.
He also recommended probiotics pretty heavily, since digestive issues(ie bad period poops) are super common. Any with >10Bn active cultures are good!
(Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, just someone that learned a lot and wants to share)

pushed too hard. mv1. SMAU + written.
max verstappen x chronically ill! reader
in which max's girlfriend has a very valid reason for not attending the races but the public doesn't know. and when the hate gets too much she pushes herself too hard.
author's note: so i have written this completely from experience, so the reader has elhers danlos syndrome (which i also have) but if you suffer from a different chronic illness please do imagine it as that.
warnings: chronic illness. hate. hospitalisation. injury.
face claim: katie douglas
y/ninsta posted a story tagging maxverstappen
Tumblr media
written: y/sister managed to get a picture of me as soon as i woke up to find out that max won the bahrain gp with a twenty second lead. i am such a proud girlfriend rn.
maxverstappen replied to your story: good you are awake i'll facetime you rn. i miss you and the cats.
user1 replied to your story: if you really were a good girlfriend you would have been there supporting him
maxfan: you are such a bad wag you didn't even stay up to watch the race.
Tumblr media
you had woken up on a high. you had turned your phone on to see all the messages informing you of your boyfriend's impressive win and you had even managed to facetime max before he went to bed. it felt like a good day. but then you made the mistake of opening social media. people on twitter were doing what people on twitter do best, talk shit. your eyes scanned over the screen as for the millionth time people picked apart your relationship and called you every name under the sun. they saw you as a villain that just did not support her boyfriend and that could not be further from the truth.
if you could attend every race you would but that just was not plausible. you suffered from elhers danlos syndrome and on top of that you had chronic fatigue. the elhers danlos effected your joints making every day painful to some degree. yes there were good and bad days but there were never pain free days. both of your knees had been operated on and you were awaiting surgery on your ankle due to frequent dislocations. the simple description of elhers danlos is that you had fault collagen, this collagen is what makes your connective tissue so your connective tissue was faulty and therefore your joints had a habit of dislocating and causing you a hell of a lot of pain. it was a domino effect the constant pain that you were in made you incredibly tired and that is where the chronic fatigue came in. max often called you his sleepy girl because you needed at least one nap per day to function properly.
you knew the problems you were having with max's fans could be solved by you telling them what you suffered with medically but they did not deserve an explanation from you. you should be allowed to live your life how you want to without thousands of strangers telling you that you were doing it wrong or that you were a bad girlfriend. you wanted to keep your medical issues private and max completely understood and supported your decision to do so. so instead you had to deal with all the hate. you just had to remind yourself that these people did not know the real you and if they did they, hopefully, would not treat you like this.
y/sister posted a story tagging y/ninsta
Tumblr media
written: y/n finally left the house for the first time in five days and it was just for a snack run.
maxverstappen replied: is she having a bad week, she only eats reese's when she is a lot of pain
y/sister: i didn't tell you this but she is not doing well at all, she slept all of yesterday and then today the internet hates her because she wasn't at the race.
as the saudi arabian gp came and went max was busy with stragety meetings and such this meant that instead of coming home for a few days like he had previously planned he stayed out there and was going to go straight from there to australia and at this point you were really missing your boyfriend. the hate had not subsided either. it was just a very difficult time for you. one night where you had just been scrolling through twitter reading through the cruel things that people had been saying about you, you hit your limit. there was no way that you could deal with this for the rest of the season. so insteadyou decided to do something about it.
Tumblr media
the morning you needed to fly to australia was when you realised that this was a bad idea. you had woken up in enough pain to down a horse, joints aching and head spinning. but danny had pulled strings for you. he had arranged everything just so that you could surprise your boyfriend and there was no way you were going to cancel when the plan was already in motion. so instead you just grinned and bared it. the flight was okay, luckily daniel had booked you a first class seat.. but sleep was hard to come by due to your body not being used to sleeping while being in flight. you were already tired when you landed in australia. due to the lack of notice the only flight daniel could arrange got in late on the saturday night. so you had booked a hotel next to the airport and arranged for a car to pick you up in the morning.
it had been so fucking hot in your hotel room and that meant that sleep was incredibly difficult to find. you tossed and turned all night only getting five hours of low quality sleep. in the morning you had pulled on a comfortable outfit and made your way out to the car that daniel had arranged for you.

f1wags: y/n y/ln has arrived to her first ever grand prix. y/n has been dating max verstappen for 18 months and had never been to a race before. but today that changes. she is not dressed in usual wag attire instead in an oversized shirt and bike shorts with a red bull cap. she may not be dressed like the others but we are happy to see her in the paddock

user30: we wait for her to show up and she comes wearing that. what an awful wag
user31: go on girl. give us nothing.
user32: i'm actually so happy she is here. i love y/n and have never understood the hate i think she is the cutest
the red bull garage was incredibly easy to spot. your eyes found danny loitering outside having a meaningless conversation with your boyfriend, "i got you a present mate. as it is my home gp i decided to spoil you", danny spoke and max raised an eyebrow.
"whatever it is i am sure that i don't want it", max responded
"i wouldn't be so sure", you cut in and max turned around instantly at the sound of your voice a wide smile gracing his features.
"oh my god, y/n", he spoke as his arms engulfed you in a tight hug. "what are you doing here love?"
"i wanted to surprise you"
"well consider me surprised"
you laughed softly as you followed your boyfriend into the red bull garage he gave you a tour of the garage and you followed him clinging onto his arm. he was used to having to hold you up so leaning on him did relieve your aching joints. max knew all about your medical issues he had helped you with them for over a year. he knew that coming to australia was pushing your body past its limits so every so often he made sure to check in on you. make sure that you sat for a little bit before interacting with the rest of the team. however when he left to go and race there was no longer anyone in the garage that knew about your medical issues. and this is what led to you being stood all of the race. stragestists and other people who you gathered were important to the team took the seats, while you stood towards the back of the garage.
it was around lap twenty when your left ankle began to properly hurt and your eyes felt heavy. a clear indicator of fatigue and your body telling you that you needed to rest. but your boyfriend was racing so well and you wanted to be able to watch him. the race continued for a few more laps however just as max started the thirty first lap your ankle gave way, dislocating from the strain of you being stood on it when it was already under pressure. you crumpled onto the floor a yelp leaving your lips as you fell but you were unable to put your hands out to soften your fall so you ended up hitting your head on the hard ground. this was enough to knock you out. first aiders ran over and called the ambulance into the paddock but you next regained consciousness inside the ambulance, on the way to hospital. alone.

"well done max you have just won the australian grand prix", christian had called over the radio. he felt guilt twinge at him. his girlfriend had been rushed to the hospital thirty laps ago but christian had made the decision to not tell max until the end of the race. he knew that the dutch driver was going to be mad when he heard the news. christian decided he needed someone else to tell max what had happened. "daniel can you come find me as soon as you are out of the car", he had intercepted the racing bulls radio just to give daniel the message, christian knew it would be better to have bad news coming from him rather than himself.
"thirty fucking laps ago", max spoke pacing back and forth in front of one of his closest friends. "you are trying to tell me my girlfriend had an ambulance called on her thirty laps ago and no one told me. she is in a foreign hospital. alone and probably scared shitless", max ranted to danny.
"i know man, christian just asked me to tell you. we can go to the hospital after the podium ceremony"
"oh fuck that i'm going now"
"you aren't driving", daniel knew better than to argue with max in that moment. yes christian would be pissed to find out that max was skipping the podium ceremony but daniel was not going to stop him from leaving. instead the two man snuck out the back of the paddock and to danny's car. the two racecar drivers got to the hospital in record speed with max running up to the front desk asking the nurse where he could find you. he was ushered through the hospital to a ward.
you were sat in a private ward you ankle elevated, an ice pack on your head and fluid iv in your arm. "max. you won.", you spoke softly. you had the television on and the grand prix on, you had just watched footage of a frantic christian looking for the driver that was now in your room.
"that does no matter my love, what happened?"
"i just pushed myself too far max. i forced myself to stand the whole time and my ankle dislocated, the doctors want to operate on it soon. and when i fell i gave myself a nasty concussion", you explained and the look on max's face could only be described as broken.
"oh my love", he spoke softly pressing a kiss to your forehead.
"i just didn't want the fans to think i was a bad girlfriend. that you deserve more than me", you spoke quietly, "they all hate me because i can't go to races", you spoke tears forming in your eyes but max's thumb quickly wiped them away.
"they don't hate you. they just don't know you honey."
"we should put out a statement, tell them what has been going on with me"
"you just read my mind my love"

Good Ovarian Cyst Doctor in Nigdi: Dr. Balaji Nalwad Reddy
Ovarian cysts are a common health issue among women that often go unnoticed until they cause discomfort. While many cysts are harmless and resolve on their own, some require medical attention to avoid complications. If you are in Nigdi and looking for an expert gynecologist, Dr. Balaji Nalwad Reddy is a trusted name for the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cysts and related conditions.
What Are Ovarian Cysts?
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop on or within an ovary. They are typically classified into two categories:
Functional Cysts: Linked to the menstrual cycle, these are the most common and often resolve naturally.
Pathological Cysts: These include conditions such as dermoid cysts, cystadenomas, and endometriomas, which may require medical or surgical intervention.

WHAT IS THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM?
think of the lymphatic system as your body’s emotional janitor and drainage crew. it’s part of your immune system, and it does the following:
• filters waste, toxins, and pathogens
• moves lymph (a clear fluid) through your body
• helps circulate white blood cells
• absorbs fats from your digestive system
• balances fluids in your tissues
it’s made up of:
• lymph (fluid)
• lymph nodes (filter stations)
• lymphatic vessels (the pipelines)
• spleen, thymus, tonsils, bone marrow (support squad)
your heart pumps blood, but your lymph has no pump. it moves through muscle movement, breath, and manual stimulation. no movement = no drainage = sluggish, bloated, toxic vibes
WHAT IS LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE?
lymphatic drainage is the process of stimulating lymph flow to help it do its job faster and more efficiently. this can be done manually with massage or with tools/devices. it’s like giving your internal plumbing system a nudge.
benefits?
• reduced swelling/inflammation
• glowing skin
• decreased bloating
• boosted immunity
• improved healing post-surgery
• less brain fog
• reduced cellulite appearance
• de-puffing (hello, snatched face + jawline)
WHY YOUR LYMPH SYSTEM LOWKEY RUNS YOUR LIFE
when your lymph is stagnant, it doesn’t just affect your body it affects your mood, energy, skin, digestion, even spiritual flow. (yes, your energy field has drainage, too.)
poor lymph flow can lead to:
• chronic fatigue/ laziness/ procrastination
• frequent colds/infections
• puffy face or limbs
• brain fog
• digestive issues
• poor healing
• acne + skin flare-ups
• fibromyalgia or pain syndromes
this is your sign to stop ignoring your lymph.
SIGNS YOUR LYMPHATIC SYSTEM MIGHT BE CONGESTED
• you wake up puffy AF
• you get sick a lot
• your skin looks dull or acne-prone
• you always feel bloated or heavy
• your eyes feel heavy/tired
• you have sinus issues
• your underarms or groin feel tender (lymph node overload)
• water retention that won’t go away
TYPES OF LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
A. MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE (MLD)
• slow, rhythmic, skin-stretching strokes
• developed by Dr. Emil Vodder
• done by trained therapists or at home
• moves lymph from extremities toward nodes
B. MECHANICAL DRAINAGE
• compression suits (like Normatec)
• vacuum suction (like LPG Endermologie)
• electric rollers + vibration plates
C. INTERNAL (NATURAL)
• breathwork
• rebounding (trampoline bouncing)
• dry brushing
• sauna/sweating
• hydration
• movement & inversion yoga
HOW TO DO MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE AT HOME
PREP:
• be well-hydrated
• be relaxed (stimulating lymph in stress = nah)
• use a dry brush or clean hands
FACE:
1. start at collarbone, gently massage down and out
2. jawline → ears → down neck
3. under eyes → temples → down sides of face
4. forehead → temples → behind ears → down neck
5. always drain downwards toward collarbone
BODY:
1. start at armpits
2. stroke down from arms to armpits
3. belly massage in clockwise circular motions
4. groin lymph massage with gentle circular movement
5. legs: ankles upward to thighs, ending at groin
tip: Always go from distal to proximal, meaning far-to-close to the heart. And be gentle lymph is superficial, you don’t need deep pressure.
DEVICES THAT CAN HELP
for the face:
• gua sha (natural, ancient, sculpting goddess magic) (i use this)
• jade rollers (cooling and de-puffing)
• Foreo Bear or NuFace (microcurrent tools)
• ice globes (i use this)
• vibrating massagers (i use this)
for the body:
• dry brushes (firm bristle brush for exfoliation + flow) (i use this)
• lymphatic paddle boards (i use this)
• compression boots (used by athletes + lymphatic clinics)
• vibration plates (you stand and it shakes your lymph awake)
• infrared sauna blankets
• LPG Endermologie machines
LYMPH-FRIENDLY LIFESTYLE HACKS
FOODS:
• raw fruits (pineapple, berries, citrus)
• leafy greens
• ginger + turmeric
• dandelion root
• seaweed
• chlorella + spirulina
• omega-3 rich foods
HERBS:
• red clover
• cleavers
• echinacea
• astragalus
HABITS:
• drink water (especially warm lemon water)
• move daily (walk, yoga, stretch)
• alternate hot + cold showers
• dry brush before shower
• rebound on mini-trampoline
• sleep well (drainage is boosted in deep sleep)
LYMPH + BEAUTY
• lymphatic drainage de-puffs the face like magic
• stimulates collagen production
• clears breakouts by boosting detox
• reduces dark circles
• tightens jawline and cheekbones
• boosts skincare absorption
SPIRITUAL + ENERGETIC LAYER
in many healing traditions (like Ayurveda, TCM), lymph = life fluid. congestion = blocked emotional energy
blocked lymph = blocked creativity, blocked intuition, blocked glow.
draining the lymph = restoring your internal flow, your connection to Self, Source, and spirit.
you wanna shine? clear your waters.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU DO LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE?
• face: daily or every other day
• body: 3x a week minimum
• post-op: depends on doctor’s advice
• vibration plates/compression boots: 15–30 mins a few times a week
CONTRAINDICATIONS + SAFETY
don’t do lymphatic drainage if:
• you have active cancer
• you have infections or fever
• you have blood clots or deep vein thrombosis
• you are pregnant (only do under supervision)
• you’ve had heart or kidney issues (speak to a doc first)
always listen to your body. gentle is good. pain is not.
FINAL WORD
your lymphatic system is like your inner spa therapist, immune defense squad, and emotional sponge rolled into one. don’t sleep on it.
if you want:
• snatched cheekbones
• less puffiness
• glowing, radiant skin
• fewer colds
• balanced moods
• deep detox
• emotional flow
then lymphatic drainage isn’t optional. it’s essential. give your body the love, movement, and flow it deserves.
