“The more women that realise Lipoedema is a disease and not a weight issue, the better they would be able to help themselves and others suffering in the same way.”
When did you first suspect you had Lipoedema?
I was taking part in Sam Wood’s 8 week challenge, trying to get some exercise within the COVID lockdown period (end of 2020), and we had to provide a before photo shot of ourselves at the start. It was embarrassing, but I couldn’t take part without it; and thank goodness I did, as one of the lovely participants brought my attention to this condition called Lipoedema and that she thought I had this condition! I started researching the disease and immediately recognised myself as a candidate of Lipoedema.
