I know two women with lipedema and one is slim and was very active all her life till she had to stop doing her training due to the pain it caused in her legs. I'm so sorry for her. She has like a tiny upper body and huge legs and even our german health care system (that usually pays for everything) doesn't pay for the treatment. She has spent like 10k of her own money and still doesn't look normal or close to normal. I just pray to never ever get that... The other one is fat though like most sufferers.
