What has changed your way of living with lipedema? #lipedema #shorts_feed

"About one and a half years ago…

…I could barely walk and I was treated for wound care and cellulitis.”

But the question always is, what is Lipedema?

Lipedema is a relatively common fat disorder often mistaken for simple obesity. Its clinical diagnosis is an adipose tissue disorder or a lipid metabolism disorder. A typical lipedema patient is a woman who struggles with large hips and legs, usually out of proportion to the rest of her body.

Lipedema also appears in the upper arms. One of the hallmarks of the disease is that lipedema fat is relatively unresponsive to standard diet and exercise. These measures may lead to weight loss in other areas, but the size of the hips and legs remains disproportionately large.

Lipedema is a disorder of the adipose tissue distinguished by five characteristics:
☑️ It can be inherited;
☑️ It occurs almost exclusively in women;
☑️ It can occur in women of all sizes, from the seriously underweight to the morbidly obese;
☑️ It involves the excess deposit and expansion of fat cells in an unusual and particular pattern – bilateral, symmetrical, and usually from the waist to a distinct line just above the ankles; and
☑️Unlike the “normal” fat of obesity, lipedemic fat cannot be lost through standard diet and exercise...

I have found with my lipedema I use a vibration plate, not expensive. Got it at Walmart has help my legs help. My feet has strengthen my legs. I get up and walk better and more now than I did. I had a really bad flareup with edema and it put me down for almost 3 months but I’m doing so much better now it just gets a blood flow going through your legs so much better and then if you get to your leg start working, then you can stand up on it as well get everything shook up but it does help with a limp Fattic flow

Losing weight is the key not the keto diet.
