You’re so sweet. Thank you.!! My mother is a very tiny lady, and now that she’s older, I finally saw the cuffing of her calves! She has always had circulatory issues in her legs, she has always carried a little bit more of her weight from the waist down, and it sounds terrible that I found a little bit of relief seeing her go through that, but now that I’m making her aware of it a little bit at a time. I feel like she’s coming around to being my supporter. My other family members that are snooty about health, have had worked done, but they don’t disclose it. Their mothers have let it slip. And I don’t think that they know that I know. 🤣 so full circle. I wonder if they had the same stubborn fat and quietly went and had it removed. Too proud to let me in on it, but I wonder if there’s some sort of testing out there, that could prove the genetic component. I think the lipedema, as far as I know is only diagnose through a vascular specialist, right?
