“After my diagnosis, I have found managing the pain a lot easier.”
When did you first suspect you had Lipoedema?
I remember when I was about 14 years old (and a tiny 46kg!), looking at the cellulite in the mirror feeling so disheartened it was there despite doing sports, exercising, going on runs and eating healthily (and probably not enough). As I got older (16/17), my friends would always compliment me on my thighs and hips because it seemed to be the trend to have an hourglass figure at the time. I continued going to the gym 5-6 times a week and noticed the cellulite was travelling further down my legs and all the way to my ankles and felt sore and heavy. This is when I knew there was something and I must have the disease they call Lipoedema.
