Quote of the night: “Pain is an indicator. Don’t ignore it.” January’s Lipedema Patient Roundtable featured a special guest appearance by Dr. Melissa Gallagher, who addressed knee pain associated with lipedema. Questions like “What’s the best sleeping position?” “How about supplements?” “Can kinesio taping or red light therapy help?” were answered by the medical professionals on hand, with our patient panelists sharing their own experiences with joint pain, buying good shoes, and flat feet (among other things).
The Lippy Butterfly, Angelique Charles, talked about the importance of self-care (and creating “date night – with YOURSELF.”) From migraines to collagen, and of course, the benefits of Lympha Press pneumatic compression, this episode is rich with so much good information, you’ll want to take notes.

The Lipedema Patient Roundtables are held every third Wednesday of the month and brought to you by Lympha Press, makers of the Optimal Plus. The Optimal Plus was specifically designed for lipedema patients, who report results that include reduced pain and increased mobility. Lipolymphedema patients benefit from the movement of lymph that Optimal Plus therapy provides, and often experience reduction in size. Find out more by visiting www.lymphapress.com.
