👏👏👏 this womam for sharing this personal moment for everyone to learn.
I knew I was having fluid in my abdomen. Every time my legs swell my stomach swells also. When my swelling goes down my tummy goes down also. I don’t have it as bad but I have it bad enough that I have to wear the high thigh compression stockings.
I definitely have it in my trunk and I’m only a little overweight - 146 lbs at 5’5. It’s just so obviously Lipedema on my torso with the mattress texture, the lumps you can feel inside, the tenderness, etc. Surely they’re seeing some of us presenting this way in Europe. Why would they deny it?
They see only what they want to see.
I just wish they could cure it. I had some surgery but it came back and I cannot face any more surgery. It has me beat down. I feel grotesque
We are sorry to hear that. There is no cure for lipedema but I can be effectively managed with nonsurgical treatment including an anti inflammatory diet and medical grade compression for most women. Exercise, especially water exercise, can help. It is possible there is more than lipedema going on.
