Lets begin #changingthepainequation
What is the journey like for those of us living with chronic pain?
We know diagnosis of #lipedema can be challenging, even though first diagnosed in 1940 at the Mayo Clinic.
Figuring out what treatments work best for us can take years of trial and error, and even when we get a great treatment plan going, things like #menopause can throw a monkey wrench at us.
Discovering who we are with Lipedema is extremely challenging, and can be quite overwhelming. But there is no cure currently so we have to work on how living with lipedema looks like to each of us.
Through the journey we become amazing advocates for not only ourselves, but for our #lipedemacommunity too.
That has been what it is all about, coming together. We are #strongertogether and we will #solvepaintogether too.

#lipedemafitness members and friends let’s start by sharing tips on managing pain. #meditation combined with #vibrationplate has been a big help for me these past couple of months of dealing with an inflammation surge.
