The May Lipedema Patient Roundtable featured a wide range of topics, including venous ultrasounds and the vein connection to lipedema, the differences between lipedema fat and non-lipedema fat, obesogens and toxins that impact our overall health, and the signs of Ehlers-Danlos.

Candid and heartfelt conversations about pain and depression led to reminders about the importance of community and not being afraid to share when you need help.

Pale Ginger Pear talked about how her Lympha Press Optimal Plus helped her recover and heal from surgery, and Pattie Cornute’s 6th Annual Lipedema Triathlon was discussed.

The Lipedema Patient Roundtables are brought to you by Lympha Press, makers of the Optimal Plus. The Optimal Plus is the first pneumatic compression device cleared for the treatment of lipedema in the United States. Find out more by visiting www.lymphapress.com.

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.
