What is so disturbing about this horrible affliction is this. I cannot get coverage for surgeries because the United States government does not recognize it as essential. Medicare only covers Lymphedema surgery. So I am losing my mobility, fall down because of the sheer size of my legs. My balance is off when I walk so I get tripped up and fall. I had one hip replacement and will need the other replaced. My knees are deteriorating as well. How is this better than removing the cause of the immobility? Why isn’t someone drawing attention to this matter? I’m told I am beautiful at 68 years of age but I cannot go on a date because of my body. Then I have to see early stage women having surgeries and somehow getting them covered. And I see no signs of Lipedema whatsoever in their photos. And my eye is pretty well trained by now. It makes you not want to go on living. And you can’t say anything on social media about this happening or you are criticized.
