December 2023 Lipedema Patient Roundtable, Hosted by

The spirit of the season was evident at the December #Lipedema Patient Roundtable, and the gifts of encouragement and insight were plentiful.
Two special guests made the hour extra special: ⁠Lympha Press Chief Medical Officer Dr. Karen Herbst⁠ fielded a host of questions, from hormones and hair loss to prescriptions and pumping, while Sonya Louise, a coach who helps women with #ChronicIllness navigate life, offered tactics for managing pain and finding purpose. "Placing your awareness on what doesn't hurt" was a powerful takeaway for the audience, and questions like "What signals that lipedema is progressing?" were also discussed.
New visitors to the Roundtable audience were welcomed with open hearts. One attendee had just received their diagnosis that day and asked, "What would be the first thing you'd do if you were me?" The answers included downloading ⁠the Standard of Care for Lipedema in the US⁠, finding a knowledgeable therapist, and "finding your people."
