Legs Like Mine

24/06/2025

At the OKC Thunder championship parade and it is H.O.T. I’m 100% certain that I’m the only one around here wearing full on compression. My legs will thank me later. I’ve been wetting all my clothes down with wet towels that I brought in a ziplock bag and it’s really helping to keep me cool. So glad we came!

Where can Lipedema show up?
Well… that depends who you ask. 😉
Most experts agree Lipedema commonly affects:
✅Hips & thighs
✅ Knees & calves (with or without cuffing)
✅ Upper arms & sometimes forearms
✅ The “buttshelf” and B belly
But some patients and providers also report:
✳️ Involvement in the breasts
✳️ Wrists & ankles
✳️ And in rare cases, even the hands and feet
❔ Not everyone agrees on this full-body picture — but if you’ve lived it, you know the pain doesn’t always follow the textbooks.
📣 This is why more research, more education, and more listening to patients is so critical. Your body isn’t broken. It’s just been misunderstood.
💜 Join us at the American Lipedema Association as we advocate for better awareness, better care, and better answers.

🚨 National News: It’s Time to Talk About Lipedema 🚨

Hi everyone, I’m Susan O’Hara, and I’m calling on major news outlets to bring lipedema out of the shadows. This chronic fat disorder affects over 17 million women in the U.S., yet it’s still widely misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and ignored.

Women with lipedema suffer for years — facing pain, stigma, and a medical system that often dismisses their symptoms as “just weight gain.” This is NOT just about appearance — it’s a real medical condition that desperately needs national attention.

To Good Morning America, Today Show, People, The New York Times, Washington Post — please help us share our stories, educate the public, and drive change. June is Lipedema Awareness Month, and there’s no better time to shine a spotlight on this urgent health issue.

If you or someone you love has lipedema, please share this post and tag your favorite news outlet. Together, we can break the silence and get the coverage we deserve.
