If you don't know what #lipoedema is: www.lipedema.org
"Lipedema is not rare, but it’s under-diagnosed and often misdiagnosed."
"Because the condition is often mistaken for weight gain, many women spend years blaming themselves before they receive a diagnosis. [...] “Fat bias is internalized,” Seo says. “Everybody tells me it’s me, that it’s my fault, and we internalize that.” "

Q to the #chronicillness community on Bluesky.
Is there anybody out there that got #mecfs and/or #fibromyalgia that also suffers from #lipoedema?
I'm trying desperately to figure out how to manage all the pain in my legs without worsening my ME/CFS and fibromyalgia.
#chronicpain
In a shite load of pain today, but I've got to tidy my fridge and my kitchen. Grocery delivery Tuesday morning.
I guess it'll require a lot of breaks to get it done.... but it has to be done.

Poster that says 'Lipedema is not obesity. Lift the stigma. Learn the Truth.' with a chart comparing lipedema (aka lipoedema) symptoms. See link in post for more information.
Today is #WorldLipoedemaDay (aka #lipoedema). Get informed about this condition. Many more women have it than is realised. Many, like I was, will be surprised - and relieved - to find that this isn't obesity after all!

It's #LipoedemaAwarenessMonth. "Learn the Truth: #Lipoedema is not a rare disease, but underdiagnosed.
Lipoedema is distinct from obesity and lymphedema, though it is often confused with both. Lipedema requires diagnosis in a medical office by a clinician [...]"

A person with long, wavy hair sits near a body of water, holding a notebook and writing with a pencil. They are dressed in a light-colored long-sleeve shirt. The background features rocks and rippling water, creating a calm and reflective atmosphere. The image captures a peaceful moment of journaling or creative writing by the water.
Living with #Lipoedema goes far beyond just the physical aspects; it profoundly impacts emotional well-being and mental health.

The middle of the image is blue and has the words 'I'm attending' on it. At the top of the blue section is a light grey oval with the words 'Lipoedema Symposium' on it. The top of the image is back to purple. The ATMS logo is in the top left corner. The top right corner is various shades of purple in a rainbow shape.

This is for those who think they might have #lipoedema. It's not a diet post but I wish I had know 7 years ago when this disease started I could have delayed the progression.
The audience is doctors but still good tinyurl.com/5fa5br3z
Then there is this conference
