SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER

Letter to:

your nurse

I want you to have some context before we go further. Standard assumptions about weight and body size don't apply the same way to everyone. For people with lipedema, a chronic condition affecting an estimated 11% of women, standard weight-related metrics can actively mislead the clinical picture. The condition causes disproportionate fat accumulation that doesn't change with diet or exercise, along with pain, fatigue, and bruising. I'm asking for care that takes this into account.
