Thank you, Karen! You know, many times lipedema isn’t mentioned because most health providers are unaware of it. It’s getting better, though, and now lipedema is a disease recognized by the WHO, and it has its own ICD code now, so hopefully, people will start paying attention.

Should anyone be interested, this is the ICD code on ICD-11:
