I was diagnosed with Lipedema but I show more of the signs of Dercums disease I won’t know til I see a specialist to confirm. As of right now I just have a Lipedema diagnosis but i know there are some missing pieces to the puzzle as I don’t have the typical “Lipedema body” but I do get nodules, lipomas, pain, easy bruising etc. I could have a mixture of both. I also struggle with depression, brain fog, memory issues and a lot of symptoms that go a long with dercums. #lipedema #lipedemawarrior #m

Living with Dercum’s Disease and Lipedema has taught me that pain isn’t always just “in the fat.” A lot of it is actually nerve pain — burning, zapping, or pressure that comes from inflamed tissue pressing on sensitive nerves. I’m prescribed Klonopin, which helps calm my nervous system when the pain flares, but I know deep down I need to find more natural ways to manage it long-term. 🌿 Here’s what’s helping me lower that nerve pain naturally: 💧 Anti-inflammatory, low-histamine nutrition 🧘‍♀️

Lipedema and Dercum’s Disease can look very similar — and sometimes, people can even have both 💜 Lipedema is a common but underdiagnosed condition where fat builds up abnormally in the legs, hips, and arms, often causing pain, swelling, and easy bruising. It mainly affects women and doesn’t respond to typical diet or exercise. Dercum’s Disease (also called adiposis dolorosa) is rare, involving painful fatty lumps or nodules throughout the body that can press on nerves and cause tenderness, fati

👉 This is what lipedema/Dercum’s nodules look like under the skin. They can feel like peas, marbles, or lumps and cause pain, swelling, and inflammation. I’ve lost 100 lbs in the past 2 years, and while my arms look so different now, these nodules are still here. That’s the reality of living with these conditions—it’s not “just fat.” ✨ Lipedema and Dercum’s affect people differently, and no two journeys look the same. But with the right tools, nutrition, and care, you can reduce inflammation an

So many people still haven’t heard of Lipedema and Dercum’s Disease—two painful, misunderstood fat disorders that desperately need more awareness. 💛 🔎 Lipedema has different types (legs only, legs arms, hips, full body) and progresses through 4 stages—starting with subtle swelling and nodules and moving to harder fibrosis and mobility struggles. ⚡ Dercum’s Disease is different—it’s known for painful lipomas (fatty tumors) that can grow almost anywhere on the body. There are multiple types too:

Most people think this is just fat… but it’s not. I have Lipedema and probable Dercum’s disease — two painful fat disorders that cause swelling, heaviness, and nodules under the skin. For years I thought I just needed to “work out harder,” but no amount of diet or exercise could fix it. If your arms bruise easily, feel tight or painful, or seem out of proportion — please know you’re not crazy. 💜 I created a guide that dives into how to manage Lipedema and Dercum’s, what to bring to your doctor

Lipedema and Dercum’s Disease are both painful fat disorders — but they aren’t the same. 💡 Lipedema often affects the legs and arms symmetrically, causing swelling, tenderness, and tissue that feels heavy or fibrotic. Dercum’s Disease, on the other hand, involves painful lipomas (fatty lumps) that can appear anywhere on the body and are often tied to nerve pain and inflammation. While the causes differ, both conditions are deeply linked to chronic inflammation — which means anti-inflammatory ca

Lipedema and Dercum’s Disease are not just regular fat. They’re structurally different, more fibrotic, more painful, and require a completely different approach to manage. 🔍 Lipedema often shows up as symmetrical fat on the arms and legs, is resistant to diet and exercise, and comes with swelling, heaviness, and bruising. 🔍 Dercum’s Disease causes painful lipomas (fatty tumors) that can appear anywhere on the body and affect both women and men — yes, men can have it too. 💜 Over the next few w

Did you know Lipedema and Dercum’s disease are not the same — and need completely different care strategies?

They laugh at our symptoms and never acknowledge they’re the ones who gave us the disease. They didn’t just deny us the pool — they drained it. Bulldozed it. Filled it with concrete rather than let us swim beside them. Fairground Park in St. Louis held 10,000 swimmers. The summer it integrated, attendance dropped from 313,000 to 10,000, and six years later it was gone for good. Druid Park in Baltimore went from 775 white swimmers a day to six, overnight — everybody else chose to leave rather tha

Red Scrotum Syndrome - you've probably never heard of it, but it's surprisingly common! Ask any dermatologist and they'll tell you they get a LOT of patients complaining of chronic itching and redness on their scrotum. Many patients think this is related to a sexually transmitted disease, and end up getting worked up for these several times. In reality, this is a complicated condition that likely involves a psychological and physical component. #itchy #itchyskin #dermatologist

Small fiber neuropathy symptoms can be confusing because many people experience strange sensations before they ever have an explanation. Burning feet, tingling, pins and needles, electric shock sensations, bugs crawling on the skin, phantom cobwebs on the face, unexplained itching, stabbing nerve pain, and temperature sensitivity are all symptoms that deserve a conversation with your healthcare provider. Small fiber neuropathy can occur alongside autoimmune diseases, including Sjogren’s disease,
