Patient Self-Advocacy Guide

Our Patient Self-Advocacy Guide is intended to help Lipedema patients in the United States no matter where they are in their journey. The Lipedema Foundation believes that every person deserves a timely diagnosis, disease-specific care, and other forms of support. Though there is currently no universal cure for Lipedema, we hope this guide will help you navigate your healthcare journey.

LF has developed a complimentary resource that may support patient self-advocacy efforts, the Clinician’s Guide to Lipedema. Check out this guide created to help clinicians identify, diagnose, and refer Lipedema patients.
