It can be the most stressful time of the year, but the women of the Lipedema Patient Roundtable are facing the seasonal challenges with healthy doses of fun. A Secret Santa exchange, wishes for the New Year, candid conversations about managing lipedema, and an inspiring vocal performance by The Lippy Butterfly, Angelique Charles, make this Roundtable especially uplifting.

A special thank-you to our panelists:

The Lipedema Patient Roundtables are held every third Wednesday of the month and brought to you by Lympha Press, makers of the Optimal Plus. The Optimal Plus was specifically designed for lipedema patients, who report results that include reduced pain and increased mobility. Lipolymphedema patients benefit from the movement of lymph that Optimal Plus therapy provides, and often experience reduction in size. Find out more by visiting www.lymphapress.com.

It’s Time to Stop Hiding: The April Sluder Interview

April Sluder's Lovely Lipedema Ladies Facebook group is inspiring! From "Selfie Sundays" asking members to show their beautiful faces, or quotes like "It's not your job to like me. It's mine..." from Byron Katie, her mission is clear: "I help people see their own worth and live life unapologetically." A Masters' level social worker and Certified Life Coach, April also has lipedema. She always noticed something was different about her legs, but after the birth of her second daughter, her condition became more pronounced. When a contestant on The Biggest Loser was diagnosed with lipedema, April had a realization: "That's me!" This led to a formal diagnosis from Dr. Steven Dean from Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center. She still says "my legs fight me" but she continues to press through while encouraging others.
