By Mary Fickling on Oct 11 2021.

Gaynor Leech Guest Blog October 2021
By Mary Fickling on Sep 30 2021.
I have lived with Lymphoedema for over 10 years now and running L-W-O Community for eight years. This blog is very much a reflection of how we arrived at where we are today. In the beginning. it really was a world of two halves, the patient, the person who was living with Lymphoedema, often angry, confused, desperate for support, help and information and then we have GP’s lacking in general knowledge of how the lymphatic system works, sometimes not able to comprehend what their patients are telling them, often dismissive. Sadly, not much has changed.

By Mary Fickling on Sep 17 2021.
Jane Wigg is internationally acclaimed as being one of the leading lights in Lymphoedema treatment development, research and education and is well-known for her passion to 'optimalise treatment' for those living with Lymphoedema. Jane created a fabulous video message of support.
Additionally, Mary Fickling and Gaynor Leech of LWO, decided to ask Jane whether she would be happy to answer questions from L-W-O Community members as part of the campaign and she happily accepted. However, due to the time constraints involved in getting the LAW2021/WLD2021 campaign together, it was jointly decided to re-schedule this special strand to commence as of 1st August 2021 and become a regular feature of the PhysioPod Free Monthly NewsMagazines.

Claire’s Story
What is Lipoedema? Lipoedema (NOT Lymphoedema) is a chronic, hereditary and genetic disorder of the adipose tissue (or body fat) which can be both disfiguring and painful. It predominantly affects women (although men can also suffer) from the age of puberty and beyond. Sufferers may have a normal slim (upper) body shape but a much larger disproportionate lower body below the waist without changes made to diet or exercise regime, in some cases, upper arms are effected too. As Lipoedema progresses, additional, expanding fat cells interfere with the pathways of lymphatic vessels and sufferers can develop secondary Lymphoedema and it then becomes known as Lipo-Lymphoedema. The effects of Lipoedema on the patient can also cause great psychological distress for the sufferer.
