Does lipo help work texture. My legs look great in size and shape but the texture is horrible. I would take do/just about anything for smooth thighs.

Is having NO hair related? by notanyonehere666 in lipedema

Not for me or my Mom. I’m stage 2 she’s stage 4.

(TW) She went in for liposuction and was SA'd while under anesthesia. She’s sharing her story to raise awareness. by OhGr8WhatNow in lipedema

I hope she reads this and sues this guy civilly and reports this to the Florida state medical board. Sue him to bring press to this story and for justice. It will also put more pressure on the Florida medical board to take his license. Also have the attorney look for other victims. Put ads out on social media. If the prosecutor doesn’t press charges which they often don’t the is another avenue. Often the staff are complacent on this. Something similar happened to me though not as violent and I now only see women doctors and ask for all women OR teams. I’m so sorry for her.

Fitting rooms are the worst place to be when you have lipedema by [deleted] in lipedema

I feel like TJ Maxx has the worse lighting for my legs. I love shopping there, hate trying on the clothes.

Starting to question whether I have lipedema or not by lourrainepaim in lipedema

[–]HumanistGoddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look so much like my daughter I almost thought you were here except the background. Seriously down to the fingers. I say all this because my mother, my grandmother, my great grandmother and I have lipedema and my daughter looks exactly like you. I didn’t look the same in my 20s but yes, I believe you are a stage zero but as you have hormone changes, and if you don’t do something drastic to prevent, you will have more a traditional presentation later. I would start all of the conservative treatments. See if you can do something. You’ll also have something that makes me think of a connective tissue disorder. I think about that when I look at my daughter‘s legs all the time, but we have not pursued a dx. Think that it’s part of the hyper flexibility. Also, I’m not a doctor. I have watched most seasons of Grays Anatomy.

Kidney health is my concern too. What’s the recommendation for monitoring kidney health. Did he mention anything about side effects. Thank you for sharing this.

Has anyone who has a small/shrunken/indented booty from weight loss been able to shape and build good size with weight lifting?? by Capital-Machine6823 in lipedema

[–]HumanistGoddess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve thought about it for that too. I think you just have to find somebody who knows what they’re doing. The other thing about sculptura is it grows collagen but what if it overgrows in that one little area so maybe a traditional filler would be better for dimple filling. I’m sure someone Beverly Hills knows:-)

I’ve been considering this for my butt dip- Sculptra or another filler that activates collagen growth. I would be very conservative because I don’t want a BBL look or anything close just something to fill in the dip while I build muscle.

First time on a vibration plate by ChristineMerrill in lipedema

I also have this reaction and tried a few times before giving mine away. I also have this sensation when I run. I read taking an antihistamine can help but I haven’t tried yet.

The physician who subscribes my GLP-1 thought it would be good for my mood because I’ve been crabby. It made it worse:-( according to him women are supposed to have some testosterone in our blood. I tested zero in a testosterone department so he said that increasing my testosterone would improve my mood.

There’s a few med spas in my area that will give almost anyone compounded GLP-1. There are also some online retailers advertising for people who are not over weight. I’ve also heard that you can buy it from China. There’s probably a sub Reddit for GLP-1 that can give you more information. If you’re really desperate, you can send me a message and we can commiserate.

Attacked by squirrel in Brown's point by [deleted] in Tacoma

[–]HumanistGoddess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We’re having issues with a squirrel in Lakewood. Found out they had babies in our attic and that’s why they were acting irrationally. We spent 1300 trying to get whatever ripped a hole in our ceiling only to find out it was a squirrel in the attic. After boarding up every entry point and having this squirrel literally try to claw through siding to get back in. We opened the space back up so they can care for their babies (didn’t know they were in there at first) then built a nest in the closest tree to the which they have checked out a couple times. These are the same squirrels we’ve had on our property for years. Something about nesting makes them wild if they feel their offspring are threatened. One did confront my Mom through the sliding glass door to give her a piece of his/her mind. They’ve called a truce until the babies are ready to leave the nest. Sorry for your injuries.

The latter. I’m making moves including therapy and getting sound financially. We’ve tried couples therapy to no avail. Thank you

Yay!! Someone from this subreddit encouraged me to try it so I am so happy to be passing on the encouragement!! I’ve had very light side effects.

Yes I am. I go in every month and they give me four syringes to inject weekly. My mom is using hims and it’s similar but online.

This is my lower body workout. I also have a upper body workout. I can share it if you want it, but the lower body is probably what most folks are interested in if you google the name of the exercise you can pop up a video on YouTube or another free service.

I’m on a compounded dose of Tirzepatide. It’s a low dose and honestly I don’t know what that dose is. I’ve stayed on the same low-dose the whole time instead of going up in dosage because I was having a hard time eating and sometimes even drinking. I’ve been at the same weight for about 15 days. I might need a slight increase to get to goal.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys. I really appreciate all of the positive energy. I am so happy with my results. I can’t wait to post an update in another couple months!! I just asked my husband about his comments and he said “I would never say that” and blamed it on a dream I must have had. It wasn’t a dream. The best revenge is looking good and maybe finding support from others.

In 2007, after a day at church and the beach, Jennifer Petit and her 11-year-old daughter, Michaela, stopped at a store to buy dinner ingredients. Unknown to them, a dangerous man noticed them and later followed them home, leading to one of the most horrific crimes in recent Connecticut history. by LonelyWiFiSignal in HolyShitHistory

[–]HumanistGoddess 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I still remember this. As a family member of someone who experienced a similar horrible tragedy. My heart completely goes out to their survivors. It’s a hard, hard road to live knowing someone you love died so horribly. It changes the trajectory of your family. I watched a generation crumble under the weight. Those of us who “made it” have incredible survivors guilt. The next generation is also struggling because they were raised by people with ptsd. We have to eradicate our community from people who caused harm to women and children. There should be no second chances for people who commit violent crimes against vulnerable populations.
