“Many of these patients struggle with simple validation that they have a pathological entity,” said Rockson, who has been treating patients with the disorder and studying the lymphatic system for almost three decades. “This is a disease — it’s not their fault — yet they are often denied medical care and denied insurance coverage.”

Now, for the first time, Dr. Stanley Rockson professor of cardiovascular medicine and the Allan and Tia Neill Professor of Lymphatic Research and Medicine at the Stanford School of Medicine have uncovered a biomarker — in this case, a particular molecule that can be detected in patients — that confirms that lipedema is related to other lymphatic diseases, such as lymphedema, distinguishing it from obesity.

I am writing this post hoping to help the family of a late client, who now wish to sell a lymphflow right thigh legging with waist attachment, specifically for use with a Lymphflow Advance pump. It has had mimimal use, was purchased less than a year ago and is being offered at a very reasonable price. Should anyone be interested, please could you send me a private message. With many thanks

Only a few of my clients have tried this to date and it only became available a few weeks ago., However the feedback has been really positive. I think this is going to be an excellent product for treating breast and truncal oedema
