Lympha Press is committed to telling the stories of patients with lipedema. We believe by sharing what these brave and resilient patients have learned as well as what leading medical professionals have discovered, many will be inspired to manage their condition and find hope in the process.
Many women are using the Lympha Press Optimal Plus and seeing great results like reduced pain, increased mobility, and in some cases, substantial reduction and even elimination of fat pads.
Best of all it’s so easy to use, as demonstrated by Lipedema Influencer @PaleGingerPear on Instagram. She is just one of the inspiring voices on our monthly Lipedema Patient Roundtables, which take place on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 8 PM. Click below to register!
Does lipedema affect fertility? How about the ability to sweat? And why does lipedema light up on airport scanners? These are just some of the questions that popped up during the September Lipedema Patient Roundtable for our panel of patients and medical professionals.
To learn that the condition that had plagued her for decades had a name was a relief for Amy Vasquez. For years she heard "calories in, calories out" and was even accused by medical professionals of eating more than she admitted to. She saw similar, big thighs among her family members and thought there wasn't anything that could be done to manage the symptoms, which had spiked at puberty.
Living with lipedema can be painful. But one of the beautiful things about living with lipedema is the community and the wealth of information and support it offers. A big theme during the August Roundtable was pain relief, with panelists and attendees discussing everything from cold laser therapy and far-infrared light therapy to flotation tanks and medicinal marijuana.
Thanks to a post on Instagram, Amber Grainger realized she had lipedema and was fortunate enough to connect with Dr. Lindy McHutchison of Carolina Vein Center. For the first time, Amber felt validated.
