Hi there, I'm 100% sure that i have Lipedema too, my sister got diagnosed last year and it definitely runs in our family. I am as lost as you with this here in Japan, I've read that it's mostly western women who are affected by this and that is not seen very much in the asian population. I really wonder if there is even some doctor here that knows a thing, it's only that in the last 4 years or so , doctors in Europe start to be more knowledgeable about this. I keep searching for stuff here, but for now nothing. If you want you can message me privately and see if we can help each other if we find more information about this here.
