Last week I posted about when I had to make the switch to Sensible Shoes, and I cried really hard when they all came in the mail. Because all of them, I mean ALL of them are just ugly, and orthopedic looking. Like most of them were made to wear with knee high panty hoseContinue reading “OK, I Did Buy a Pair of Sensible Shoes (Boots, Actually!) That Don’t Make Me Cry Because They’re So Ugly…”

Round 1 of Surgery to Remove Lipedema is Drawing Near – I’m So Ready, and a List of Things I Plan to Bring!
I thought I’d provide you all an update on where I am with having surgery. Dr. Schwartz’s office called a couple of weeks ago on a Friday evening to let me know that my single case agreement with Aetna had been approved. All I would need to pay for all the surgeries would be theContinue reading “Round 1 of Surgery to Remove Lipedema is Drawing Near – I’m So Ready, and a List of Things I Plan to Bring!”
Wearing Sensible Shoes is a Must with Lipedema, Even if the Shoes are So Ugly They Make you Cry
Hi Friends! I love to go barefoot and wear cheap flip flops in the summer. About two summers ago, I got a bad case of tendonitis in my left foot and had to get some physical therapy to get me walking enough to go on a trip I’d planned with my Girl Scouts for manyContinue reading “Wearing Sensible Shoes is a Must with Lipedema, Even if the Shoes are So Ugly They Make you Cry”
I’ve Bought Two of These Swing Tops with Lace…so far
I have now bought this in two colors for zoom days to pair with just some compression pants. On ‘fancy’ days, I pair them with a little scarf for fun. I’m 5’9″ and mine hits me mid thigh. Love the booty and top thigh coverage. I get complements on this top every time I wearContinue reading “I’ve Bought Two of These Swing Tops with Lace…so far”

I’m ingesting as much material as I can find about life with lipedema. If I can find one golden nugget to improve my life or someone else’s life, I’m all in!

Sharing: My Cover Letter to Aetna Asking for Out of Network Coverage – It’s All True!
In an earlier post, I walked you through the process I used to get insurance precertification and out of network approval in one week flat. This is the cover letter I wrote that went with my request for out of network coverage and a single case agreement. I think it’s a great letter, and IContinue reading “Sharing: My Cover Letter to Aetna Asking for Out of Network Coverage – It’s All True!”
Answers to a Common Question: What Process Did I Use to Get Insurance Coverage for Lipedema?
Greetings and Salutations! We all know that Lipedema is a real disease, and that the World Health Organization (finally) recognized the disease in 2018 with its own codes: (Code EF02.2 in the ICD11). I originally wrote this post at 18 days away from my first surgery (of most likely, many) to get rid of theContinue reading “Answers to a Common Question: What Process Did I Use to Get Insurance Coverage for Lipedema?”
I’ve owned My BioFlect Leggings for One Hour, and I’m in Love.
I remember going to see the Nutcracker as a kid and having to dress up. My mom bought me some control top panty hose to wear with a dress to the event. Not even halfway through the play, my hose rolled down and stopped halfway across my bum. I sat through the rest of theContinue reading “I’ve owned My BioFlect Leggings for One Hour, and I’m in Love.”
How to Have a Beach Ready Body? Have a Body, Go to the Beach!
I’ll probably post a lot about swimming, so bear with me. I like to swim. I like to float, play on boogie boards, and do water slides. I really really love to snorkel and I think that aqua classes at the Y are the best for so many reasons. Also, we’re having an exercise poolContinue reading “How to Have a Beach Ready Body?
