Thanks for your work,,, as i am sure with many others i am desperate for help… i wish i could afford surgery. The impact of lipodema fpr me is mental/emotional and social… i really have no lide due to this condition.. i am incredibly self concious and it has eroded my self esteem… i am finding it psychologicallyy so hard, people or platforms suggest dofferent things, even counselling, but it only makes you feel worse when you dnt have the money for these things. i wear compression every day of my life i dont go out except to the gym and i dont drink, eat sugar, or wheat, limit carbs, no caffeine and find it very hard to eat out… i am so sick of having this.. every day i dry brush, use a massage gun, use suction, a manual fascia roller and madnesium cream. I am too embarasses to date and have been single for 15 years, i cant swim or go to the beach.. pple give me vouchers to spa places w sauna, spa and cold plunge, i cried explaining to them i can use them… it makes you feel so different, so less than other women, so ashamed and it feels so unfair you have to work so hard for less reseults than other would have….
i am hoping fat cavitation machines can help?? i tried a few rounds of shockwave and it did nothing. I also have nothing and struggle at work and could end up spending every cent on trying to fix this condition… i am not always in this mindset but i definitely have my days where it feels so unfair and full of shame. the worst feelings.
Thank you for sharing this. So much of what you said resonates deeply, and I want to acknowledge the immense strength it takes to navigate these feelings every day.
The exhaustion from working so hard for fewer results is one of the most unfair parts of this journey, and the shame and isolation you described are heavy burdens to carry. Please know that we hear you and we see you. You are not alone in feeling this way.
