Hypermobility and Lipedema Go Hand in Hand

Hot off the presses! There’s a new book about #EDS called, “Disjointed” out. It’s kind of expensive, and I’m encouraging my library to put it on the shelves for the broadest awareness. I plan to grab it today to see what it’s all about.  Grab your own copy by clicking the image below. 

And if you’re into scholarly articles, here’s a link to an article by Drs Torre, Wadeea, and Herbst, called, “Lipedema: friend and foe.” This article also shares some information about the connection between hypermobility and lipedema.

Finally, if you suspect you have hypermobility, there are tests your doctor can perform (non invasive, even!) that can diagnose you with hypermobility.  For more information, visit the Ehlers-Danlos Society’s website.

There is so much to learn!  I hope this information helps someone.

Stay well, friends!
