Lipedema Treatment Guide: A Certified Lymphedema Therapist's advice for her clients with lipedema

I highly recommend this book!!! It explains the disease and goes through treatment goals, diet, equipment helps, reducing pain and psychological aspects. The book is easy to read. I have read the entire book this past weekend and will begin reading it again soon.

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!

I feel as though if you purchase an e-book, you should be able to make it into a printable pdf so you can have pages where you can make notes.

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.

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!

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.

Great book on lipedema. I just purchased a second one to give to my primary doctor!!You won’t be sorry if you purchase this great, informative book, I promise!!

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.

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.

i had a quick flick thro this and really nothing in it that i cant find out for free onlineits a baffling topic and seems like women with this condition are on the pioneering edge trying to work it out for themselves as Drs are in the main cluelesscant say id recommend it really as i sent it back myself as i could see it wasnt going to teach me anything i didnt know

I suppose this may be a good source of lipoedema information for some but I didn't feel I got that much information from it.
