To Table of Contents approval for their hatred as they all make assumptions on what we eat, whether or not we are happy in our lives, questions of our health, and staying up to date like they are paparazzi.
They want us to know how much they disapprove of us, because nothing angers them more than seeing us happy, or having us succeed.
So... that means that we have the power to completely ruin their day just by existing. Why would the opinion of someone like that matter to you? Someone whose entire day can be ruined at the mere sight of someone they don ' t find attractive. That ' s hilariously pathetic. They have no power.
Lipedemam, its effects and my upcoming surgeries
I’ m one of those people who unfortunately have the majority of symptoms. Extreme pain, nausea, tachycardia, swelling, weakened immune system, easy bruising, easy dislocation, hypermobility, brain fog, and the list goes on and on and on. My Lipedema first appeared at the onset of puberty, but it wasn ' t that bad. My legs are little bit bigger than other kids my age, aside from that it wasn ' t too noticeable. I had a little bit more growth after I had my son, but it was still pretty mild. But... when my daughter was stillborn in 2016, the hormonal change sent my condition into overdrive and everything progressed rapidly.
I am in pain all the time, and I feel like my life was taken from me.
The past few years there are so many things that I wanted to be able to do but couldn ' t, because of my condition.
I just want my life back.
My upcoming surgery will be the biggest one in a series of about 6-8.
This one they will be removing the Lipedema nodules from my stomach. My doctor believes that Lipedema has become so extreme there, that it has replaced all actual fat in the region, so I could either end up having only a few nodules removed... or having my entire abdomen cut off.
Once that is removed, the pressure and build up in my lower extremities should be relieved, shrink somewhat, and the progression should slow down.
They think that my stomach is actually causing the diseased tissue in my legs, hips, but, et cetera to get worse. So I really want the surgery to hurry up and be done so that I can start to get better, even though I know I am going to more than likely look pretty weird.
Going public about my lipedema diagnosis
I have had over a dozen people come to me, and let me know that they have been diagnosed with Lipedema thanks to my posts. There are several more who have appointments scheduled to speak with doctors in order to hopefully get their diagnosis. It makes me feel incredibly happy knowing that so many people who had been gaslit by doctors, and everyone else in their lives for so many years, are finally able to find out what is wrong. Now they can finally begin to be able to work on treating it.
Source of selfconfidence and determination
With me it started when I was doing web modelling. When I realised that even though I had gained weight and become what I thought was the epitome of undesirable, there were still hundreds of thousands of people who thought I was perfect.
And it helped me understand that no matter how you look, there will always be people who think you ' re beautiful, and always people who think that you ' re not and that trying to fit
