This presentation has bought tears to my eyes - in a good way! Just knowing that you incredible women are getting to grips with what truly happening within our bodies has made me so very happy.

I was diagnosed with lymphedema and lipoedema 10 years ago after going to doctors for 40 years to find out why I was gaining weight after the birth of my first child. They kept telling me to stop overeating and stop the cakes, cookies, chips and stop drinking soda. All of what was not part of my diet except on special holidays and birthdays. My now primary doctor sent to a specialist and I was finally diagnosed. I was 261 lbs at my highest, I am now 195 lbs. I got off wheat and was put on water pills and I wear conpression socks and wraps with conpression garments. I also use pumps for my legs.

Thank you so much for this fascinating presentation! It is a blessing people and projects like you exist! In the UK, alone and desperate. Sorry for getting emotional; I have joined Lipoedema UK but, to put it gently, all information I can get is from you, from the US Lipedema Simplified and Lipedema project, bits and pieces of info scattered on the net. Shame, , ,

Casteroil and sweet orange oil is relieving.

Plastic surgery only treats some symptoms of lipedema and NOT the cause. That's a problem.

Thank you for this information. I have lipo-lymphedema and i suspect my daughter does too. I am curious if it is caused by issues with stem cells, would chemotherapy be an option as it destroys them?

You lost me with all the clap trap about tribal lands. Just make the presentation because unless you are giving the land BACK to the tribes its just lip service.

Land acknowledgments, how to start off your presentation with a lot of stupid and a lot of woke.
