If only more had been known about this in the 70's and 80's. My parents always wondered (so did I) how a child/teen could be so active non stop and eat healthy, but keep swelling and gain weight. So many years of being made fun of, being called names, and low self esteem. I'm in my fifties now, but so blessed to have found one of the best and few specialists who truly understands lipo lymphoedema. She is caring and compassionate, Dr. Marcia Byrd. So thankful she is helping me on this journey.

I can relate to the pain and frustration in your words. Gonna look up Marcia Byrd. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you…What cures Lipedema?
This is confusing: is it explaining lymphedema or lipedema?
This says nothing about lipedema. The diseased.
