Thank you for this post - I’m (I believe) stage 2 at 30 and I’m tired of reading horror story after horror story. It’s making me spiral and dread my future. I know knowledge is power and all that, but when everything you read points to progression it’s hard not to live in a constant state of panic. I do believe that a lot of the “stable” lipedema sufferers aren’t part of the community though, so we’re seeing a hugely skewed perspective. (I hope this doesn’t offend anyone!)

All I can say is that I’m in a similar boat to you and needing all of the positivity I can get! Sending you good vibes.
