Lipedema Treatment Guide Kindle Edition

I was so excited to receive my copy of Kathleen's book that I had ordered!! I dug into it right away. I was diagnosed with Lipedema in February 2017. My whole life changed. Although I always knew something was wrong, after going to MANY doctors my whole life, and coming out defeated, ridiculed for not trying hard enough, and still no answers to my problems, this book right here gives us the answers. Kathleen has put much research and compiling information into her book. I have written notes and underlined all pertinent information concerning my condition, this way, I can take it along with me to doctors appointments just in case I have to deal with a doctor that is clueless to Lipedema. The way the book is designed makes that easy to do. Each page has about a 1/2" or 3/4" margin on the sides handy for writing notes. The book includes:ReferencesDefinition of Lipedema and it's effectsTreatmentBoosting our lymphaticsNutritionSkin careConventional ManagementLiposuction for lipedemaMental aspects of lipedemaTips for writing letters for medical necessityCompression tipsThis book is a MUST-HAVE for:Anyone with lipedema (those who have been diagnosed or those who suspect they have it)Family members of those with lipedemaAny doctor in any field, as so many women suffer from lipedemaTherapists (both PT and OT)NutritionistsI believe that this book is beneficial for everyone. My hopes are that more awareness is spread about this disease that affects so many worldwide and there is so much fat-bias that needs to be dealt with all over.Words cannot express my gratitude to Kathleen for this book!

First of all, the print is ENORMOUS. I suppose this was in order to make the book, well, book length. I feel like I was reading something that used to be a pamphlet for the author’s clients or maybe information on her website. There were lots of links that of course you can’t click on because, duh, this is a print book.All in all, I’ve gotten far more information online than I did from this expensive book. For that reason I would not recommend it.

This is a helpful comprehensive guide for how to understand, manage and treat Lipedema. I wish I had it when I was first diagnosed. Learning to live with a little understood chronic illness can be profoundly overwhelming. Kathleen Lisson has filled this beautiful book with great research and lots of additional resources.

Sadly few in the medical field know what lipedema is, let alone how to help patients who have it. The book should be read by a doctor who is told by their patient they have lipedema.

I am so happy with this book. Extremely helpful. So much good information. Reading how others deal with this disease was very helpful. It also gives insight on the different treatments and resources. I recommend it to those who have Lipedema or know someone who does.

This booklet written by the client was great. I have the first two and will get the third one when it becomes available. She was very honest about the pain and all. Excellent!

Great book for understanding and knowing you’re not alone

Just the book I needed. I found myself on many of the pages. Gave me many ideas for my health

This book is ok. It provides some information for newly diagnosed people.Unfortunately, the proposed health interventions are mostly very unlikely to be obtained in the UK.In addition several suggested resources/links on her website either don't exist or have been deleted. Disappointing after the positive reviews

Wonderful to have a book with both conditions- not one or the other.

È un libro molto generico e non serve a nulla.L’ho subito restituito. Ci sono altri libri che trattano la patologia sia per quanto riguarda i trattamenti da fare, che per la tipologia di alimentazione da seguire.Se ci fosse stata la possibilità, avrei dato 0 stelle.

Libro adatto alle pazienti che vogliono informarsi sulla problematica, un po' meno utile per gli addetti ai lavori. Buona la bibliografia, forse la parte più interessante del libro.
