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
