Just the info we needed... We have lifepro rumble x 4D. I would say, however, use compression while exercising. Keep the lymph vessels externally supported.

No clue why or how I got lymphedema. It is over 3 years No proof but I started having problems after being put on Statins and gained weight and muscle weakness from statins . I am off statins, I use compression wraps and compression pump. I lost weight and inches. Also on Wegovy 2.4. I also go fior physical therapy exercise and massage therapy.

I read that collagen is not good for lipedema- too much collagen may contribute to the problem. My DR told me to reduce salt to reduce swelling. Ironically, more water/liquid helps swelling (according to my DR).

I thought once a fat cell is removed it can not grow back. If so, then one danger of surgery might be that fluid accumulation/swelling could occur in less desirable areas of the body, like around vital organs. Is this true?

So glad to see you back! Really missed your updates - BUT love that you’ve been traveling!! Awesome video of the lake ❤ ❓❓ Why is the collagen good for us? I thought lipedema is a collagen/fat disorder. Just love your good ideas (like bacon & sauerkraut for a meal-my fav!!). ❤ So, if I need collagen, I’m ready 👍

I just bought these and wore them today for the first time. I have never worn compression garments before today. How do you ladies do it! Going to the bathroom was a lot of work. Also, it is very hot wearing leggings and then pants over them. When I took them off at the end of the day, I did not have the fabric imprint on my thighs, but I did have it on my calves. I was surprised that my thighs did not show any imprint because they sure felt tight enough. I did not experience pain relief after day one…I will keep trying.

I have been exercising, wisely and well, my entire teen and adult life. Weights. Treadmill, bike, very active. Does not matter!!! People and doctors say "eat less, workout more". Bull CRAP! I lived my life (now at 52) fighting this. It's been so hard and hurtful. The worst is hearing and seeing other people judge me that im not doing something right or eating too much, etc... as the idolize the skinny people around me. Women, need to stop those conversations. It is very damaging around people like us. Genetics are something else. I now know it is mostly DNA. And-- you can help improve your quality of life or make it worse, but we can not make an arm disappear. Just like our metabolic DNA. Im very flexible, too. Hud my upper arms, thighs.. now 52, it's reached my knees and upper calves. If women can change their belief system abt our physical appearance. Then when that conversation happens, "oh, ai think all women are beautiful. She is so confident wearing a bathing suit. I love how confident she is"... but, we k n o w they do NOT believe it for themselves-- we smell that! And , sadly, it induces depression... as someone like us walks away hurt that it's a bunch of crap as we are reminded we are disgusting. This is hard. I have two sisters who eat sugar, carbs, bread and have naturally nice figures. So, it's always a comparison. I am , of course, modest. They wear bathing suits. I am of course in swim leggings and a t shirt. I am also very empathic. I feel what is unspoken. It's hard. So, I now live my life continuing, never quitting, to take good care of my health. However, now i live to tend to my spirit. My relationship with Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior is my joy and who He has created me to be is my identity. It's always going to be a work in progress, but im driving in His direction. I wear pretty beautiful comfortable clothes. Im good to my heart, and in my thoughts. When we have an extra challenge that we dont necessarily deserve/brought upon ourselves and still dont quit, we should give ourselves beautiful wherever we go and do. And always, do the same for others😇🌈🕊🕊💖

When I turned twelve I got a tiny bit plump but my legs ballooned up. My grade 7 class picture had me sitting in the front row. Girls had to wear skirts or dresses then. I saw my picture with huge legs and my friend sitting beside me with these skinny things. My whole life, even weighing 109 lb consistently through university, I was ashamed of my legs. If I stood for more than a few minutes I would get dizzy and my legs would swell more. At university I could wear pants finally and wouldn’t ever wear shorts. I refused to go swimming. I was very pretty but had to hide my legs. I’ve had such an inferiority complex I never tried to make anything of myself but became a housewife who was cheated on and ultimately dumped. If only I had known about compression stockings or something I think I would have had the drive to make something of myself but I just felt weird and unworthy. I’m 70 now so it doesn’t matter but I wish I could go back and relive my life and find some help. Both my mother and sister had very nice legs. I think my mother’s sisters had problems but they lived in the Soviet Union.

Oh my gosh, so thanks to you, I ordered this genetic test because I have lipedema and lately I’ve been experiencing these weird anxiety attacks that my doctor says are related to menopause. Just got my results and it turns out that I too have the double mutation which reduces my ability to process folate by 40%. I just bought the metholated folate and another antioxidant the company suggested. We’ll see if I see a difference after taking these. But seriously, thank you so much for your info - you are helping people!

after much reading and searching Lipedema, I found the millions of dollars being made from giving false information almost beyond comprehension. No diet, no exercise, no machine sucking device. Nothing they are selling cure it. Why are they not curing it, there is a cure, I'm living proof. I'm sure there are others. I was on my death bed, and an amazing person, saved my life, happy to be alive

When doing keto, high fat, what types of fat because fat is an inflammatory contributor. Also meats, am told to limit, eat organic grass fed meat due to the regular meat that has more omega 6 fats. Do you have an example for what you eat in a week?

Omg I may have lipidema. I should talk to my DR. I have the little bean feeling things in my legs and arms.. I have always had bigger built legs and couldn't seem to get them small even when I was skinny. I just figured I was pear shaped. But I've wondered lately since my calves are getting a lot bigger now and I can barely see my ankles and knees. My legs don't hurt generally but I do bruise easily. My feet do often hurt unless I drink a lot of water can that be a symphom pain in feet?
