Lipedema Social Resources
Support in any situation can be helpful, but when it comes to navigating a complex disorder that has historically been ignored, support can make all the difference and is invaluable. There are many blogs, support groups, and Facebook groups of women who are at different stages of the journey. Join groups that call to you, and look for and connect with like-minded people. We are not alone, and support from the worldwide lipedema community can help YOU!
Please respect the privacy of patient groups. Review and agree to observe the rules & guidelines set forth by each group, though similar, each group has it’s own guidelines.
