@pt_tayloromalley: The symptoms I was experiencing weren’t just “normal weight gain.” They led me to being diagnosed with an incurable condition called lipedema — a chronic fat tissue disorder that diet and exercise can’t fix. Most of these things I never even realised were symptoms at the time. 💜 Lipedema causes painful, disproportionate fat build-up (mostly in the legs, hips, and arms), easy bruising, swelling, and heaviness. It affects millions of women, yet most have never even heard of it. My symptoms were - pain/tenderness in the legs and arms - easy bruising - nodules under my skin - ability to loose weight from my waist but not my thighs or arms easily - fatigue - dizziness Just to name a few… I’m sharing my story to spread awareness, because the earlier lipedema is recognized, the better it can be managed. #lipedema #lipedemafighter #chronicillness #thickthighs #awareness
