@thickthighsposivibes: Morning ramble as soon as I have woke up - seems like lipoedema is consuming my brain today, I wish there was a way to help more people, I really do #lipoedema #lipoedemafighter #chronicillnessawareness #awareness #advice
I was referred to the lymphedema service by my GP but I feel like they just see people with Lipoedema as a nuisance. After increased pain and swelling recently I asked for an appointment and literally got my head practically bitten off. 🙈 my prescribed compression no longer fits but they offered me a telephone appointment in September 😁 I have to laugh.

I have written to my MP again because I am so exhausted trying to fight for treatment. Recently told one leg has progressed to lipolymphodema 2 years after I told them I felt it was different ! It took my regular nurse at the lymph clinic retiring and demanding a referral to vascular to get somewhere. Also diagnosed with chronic. Vein insufficiency waiting for ablation. I’ve got arthritis in both knees that physio won’t touch because of lipodema. Can’t have a knee replacement because surgeon has “ never had a successful outcome with lipodema” I feel like life is constantly in fight mode.

I was lucky enough that I knew where my local Lymphedema service was (and while I'm not diagnosed with lipedema, they do support folks with it as well), so when I finally got a diagnosis I could say "I know that the closest Lymphedema service is in this hospice". And that's the only advice I can really give. Check your local hospices to see if they do have a Lymphedema service that you can join the care of.
