Medical Solutions Supplier 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.
October 2020 Lipedema Patient Roundtable
So many amazing topics of conversation, including the unique lack of lymph function in the calves of those with lipedema - even difficulty finding calf muscles! Dr. Karen Herbst and Linda Anne Kahn offered clinical expertise on topics from cryotherapy to aromatherapy, the impact of alcohol on the lymphatics, massage guns and healthy doses of inspiration and encouragement. All delivered in costume! (After all, it's Halloween week...)
Special thanks to Pattie Cornute (@LipedemaFitness), Cara Cruz (@PaleGingerPear), Cheryl Scoledge (@LipedemaDiva), and Angelique Charles (@TheLippyButterfly) for sharing their insights as we forge a path of hope and help for lipedema.

Make it Happen: The CFIT Revolution Interview
It was just a short time ago that Crystal was diagnosed with lipedema. Her journey to that point included a 100-pound weight loss, only to discover that taking in minimal calories and exercising hours each day proved fruitless. Now she's "making it happen" and encouraging others to do the same.

Rising Out of the Fire: The Jennifer Williams Interview
She's known as @PlusSize_and_Proud, but there was a time when she used to hide her body and was the target of cruelty. In this candid interview, Jennifer shares how surgery helped her lose weight, but led her on a path of addiction to pain pills. This strong and resilient woman says hers is a story of "rising out of the fire" and what has emerged is someone beautiful, who is shining a light for other lipedema women.
Jennifer also discusses her use of the Lympha Press Optimal Plus to manage her condition and marvels about how easy it is to use. This is the only pneumatic compression device cleared by the FDA for the treatment of lipedema.
