What is Lipedema?

Have you tried everything but can't lose weight?  Like, EVERYTHING!?

Are your legs extra thick despite exercise and a healthy diet? 

Do you wear a larger size on the bottom versus the top? 

Are your shirts too snug across your hips or around your upper arms?

Do your tissues ache or do you have more pain than you should if you bump something or if there is pressure on your skin?

Do you feel like you're fatigued and have less muscle tone and strength than you did in the past?

Have you suddenly gained weight mostly in your hips and/or thighs at times of hormonal shift like puberty, pregnancy, menopause, or breastfeeding with no significant change in activity level or the foods you eat?

Do your legs look lumpy and bumpy in a way that's not exactly cellulite, but you don't really know how else to describe it? 

Do female family members have that same exaggerated pear shape and decreased mobility or pain?
