Lipedema & Living

A Little Poem About Life with Lipedema

​​At around age 12, I noticed my legs were abnormally large with a noticeable ankle cuff. I tried several diet and exercise plans, but I couldn't lose weight. This was rough. At age 26, I needed an answer! So I typed "Large painful legs" on the search line and I couldn't believe my eyes... could it be real? Images of legs that looked exactly like mine! At age 27, I had an appointment with a vascular surgeon, who finally diagnosed me! She said a pneumatic compression pump, & wearing compression stockings, will be key. At age 29, I had my beautiful daughter, but afterwards, my body changed quite a bit. Lipedema progresses with hormonal changes, but no complaints here! She's SO worth it! At age 34, I had to quit my job, because I could no longer handle the intense daily pain With unpredictable symptoms, swelling, & more, to continue would've been inhumane. At age 35, I'm a disabled stay-at-home mom, which allows me time for treatments and rest. Living with this body is frustrating & difficult, but I try to stay positive & always do my best!

Collapsible text is perfect for longer content like paragraphs and descriptions. It’s a great way to give people more information while keeping your layout clean. Link your text to anything, including an external website or a different page. You can set your text box to expand and collapse when people click, so they can read more or less info.
