"Condemned lives" sums it up. When one is shaped this extreme even getting a decent job is very difficult. I sometimes ask myself how many young girls are facing what I did? Even if lipedema is a rare disease especially in the severe stages, there has to be others. There isn't much forgiveness for fat. Even if one is lipedemic and has several endocrine disorders, the world at large still mostly condemns fat people and this condemnation is why so many lipedemics especially severe ones, suffer for years undiagnosed and not helped. The irony of all this? The earlier the help? The more the weight would have been controlled.
Excellent article.
