The Lipedema Project

Soooo exciting things are happening for me with The Lipedema Project! I have just gained an internship with The Lipedema Project! This means I will be able to help spread the word about Lipedema but also have access to some great resources and will be able to keep up to date with everything that is happening overseas with Lipedema.

I am in New Zealand, other than my doctor, I don't know any other medical professional that knows of Lipedema or would consider diagnosing it. It is very isolating, and I can't help think that if I feel isolated that others with this disease, diagnosed or not, will be feeling alone too. 
I want there to be resources available right here in New Zealand. I want a New Zealand support group. I want our doctors to be informed and have Lipedema acknowledged in New Zealand, as a disease that affects mobility and quality of life. 

There is an amazing documentary called The Disease They Call Fat by Catherine Seo that is now available on pre order through Lipedema Simplified webpage.

 Buy one, watch it, share it and buy one for your medical practitioner. If you get one now you get a discount and an even bigger discount if you buy two. (one for you and one for your doctor) here is the link for the discount
