Who owns LegsLikeMine? Susan O’Hara, from Yukon, Oklahoma in the USA owns and runs LegsLikeMine. Susan has had lipedema for years, starting with the birth of her first child in 2001 and the condition has progressed through various hormonal changes, stress. Unfortunately, as many women who have this condition also experience, Susan did not know about lipedema until just two years ago, when working and advocating with her doctor that something just wasn’t right. It was after numerous MRIs, knee surgeries, xrays, and a bout with tendonitis that a doctor asked who was treating her condition and for the first time, called it by name. Only then was Susan able to dig on the internet to find specialists and occupational therapists familiar with Lipedema and Lymphedema and begin using compression and massage techniques to manage the condition. Susan has fought for years to find boots, shoes and clothes that fit. One other note is that Susan is a professional and has a full time position in management for a large agency; she has extensive training in project and product management, development of proprietary software systems, and leadership. LegsLikeMine is a work of passion and necessity.
