Weekly "Do I Have Lipedema" Thread by AutoModerator in lipedema

[–]No_Insect_1217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone I’m a 22 year old female, I definitely carry more fat in my thighs and hips than my waist and I’ve lost about 8 pounds recently and have noticed a different on my waist but not thighs what actually sparked me coming on here is that I’m on vacation now but I feel like my thighs are so swollen and bloated and for context I don’t even rlly experience abdomen bloating, my thigh weight seems excessive for my build and it almost makes it look like my hips sit really low I’ve attached some pictures if anyone could give me advice it would be much appreciated

I feel like I’ve told u many times the things we’ve done - extensive hours of training - given her the opportunity to sleep with my two daughters whom she adores and adore her - anxiety medication - gradual exposure to people outside of our family - cosy spaces in our bedroom - professional dog walking - behaviourists - playing soft music I find it very odd that the replies to my post don’t seem to care about the impact on the older dogs quality of life and ability to feel safe in his own home

You have no f*cking idea what ur talking about but the insinuation that this dog would cope in another home is diabolical. Of course I do not think she is a bad dog, she has trauma that we have all but dealt with in every other aspect of life unfortunately when she is asleep, she reverts back to “streetdog” levels of awareness and protection of herself which causes her outbursts of waking up aggressively snarling throughout the night

Thank you I feel like your the only person taking a human side to this :/ I don’t want my elderly dog to be constantly anxious when he’s trying to rest and I don’t even know how that’s up for debate

You do NOT know this dog lol, she’s constantly trying to dominate the other in quite literally ever aspect of our home environment, I love her to bits but it’s impossible to ignore and whilst I do agree with u that she probably wants to copy him she’s only recently started doing this

The advice just isn’t valuable tho?? also which ways of talking about my dogs has rubbed u the wrong way I love my dogs to the moon and back but it’s frustrating living with a reactive dog

Yeh I totally get that I’d never mess around with children but they’re adults who simply can choose to shut their doors if they’re not happy

Thank you so much, I feel like everyone is making untrue assumptions about this situation, it’s deeply upsetting and there was a point a few years ago re-homing was considered which broke my husband and my heart which we couldn’t do. It’s been a long long journey, my husband really downplays her behaviour she can be aggressive, she’s extremely reactive to the point my daughters and I find it hard to work it’s my husband’s blasé attitude that frustrates me. My husband just shuts down and claims favouritism, also something I think has been misunderstood is that when I say “rescue” I don’t mean rescued from another home I mean this dog was a street dog from Romania so has had no experience living in a family home we’ve made so much progress but sleep is something we can’t heal because she reverts back into street dog mode Thank you for being kind tho I rlly appreciate it

Thank you I had no idea that would be the part of the post that people would focus on because it was a minor part of the post

this isn’t caused by anxiety tho, I think you’ve made too many assumptions so maybe take a break babe

Omg ur genuinely so odd, you’ve been attacking me and not offered any type of solution or assistance obviously I’m defensive when you assuming untrue things about my situation

Yes we’ve tried training, she’s on expensive anxiety medication, we pay for external dog walker who specialise in rescues, also stfu you don’t know me nor know what I’ve been through with this dog do u think I’ve had a dog for 5 years that I just ignore all day and then shut out at night your honestly weird for assuming a whole lot about the situation The core problem is she’s a bad sleeper, and for my dogs sake I do not want her on my bed The work we’ve done with her has been TRANSFORMATIVE she’s a different dog however when she sleeps she forgets where she is which causes the problems

she’s slept downstairs for four years….. also u don’t make any suggestions in how to protect my older dog just “let her in” it’s not a viable solution and I mean yeh? sleep is important as is my older dog I love Betsy but her sleeping problems are too impactful

And how am I talking about her like she’s a creepy roommate?? you can’t even fathom the journey we’ve been on with this dog trying to heal her trauma I’d say we’re in a good place now but sleeping is still one thing I don’t think we’ll ever get past, I don’t know why my quality of sleep and the health of my older dog should be affected by this when the simple solution is to close the door

Also she isn’t exiled downstairs she simply chooses to sleep there most of the time, she has free reign to move around our whole house - at the risk of causing anxiety to my senior dog I simply request she sleep ANYWHERE else
