In the lipedema world, Carol Nogueira is lucky to be one of the ones to discover her lipedema when she was still at stage one. That doesn't mean that discovery was without its challenges. We also talk about how it can be overwhelming to get this diagnosis and how it becomes part of our identity. Carol also talks about how she figured out that she had lipedema and then her experience finding a surgeon to help her try to keep it there. Listen to hear about her lipedema journey that has taken her to be one of our community's Lipedema Advocates.Show Links:Carol Nogueira Links:F*Lipedema Blog: http://fucklipedema.com/F*Lipedema on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/F-Lipedema-110806687363274/Lipedema Articles on Medium: https://medium.com/search?q=Carol%20NogueiraChange.org Petition to cover liposuction for lipedema: http://chng.it/nGFHWb7R?fbclid=IwAR1cey5LAhY59qv4IWaGa0BRuUnrFke0VEANid-1blQURO-qEgJaNAsRUcc Lipedema Awareness Month Links: "Lipedema and Lymphedema: Mythbusting and Case Controversies" featuring Dr. Karen Herbst, Dr. Steven Dean, Dr. Thomas Wright and Dr. Tony Gasparis. https://tactilemedical.com/learning/ The Lipedema Channel on YouTube features multiple videos with a couple of Lipedema Roundtable discussions and interviews with Lipedema Patient Advocates https://www.youtube.com/c/TheLipedemaChannel/videos "New Insights on Pathophysiology and Treatment of Lipedema" with Dr. Karen Herbst and "The Psychosocial, Clinical, and Dietary Impacts of Lipoedema," with Dr. Catherine Seo, Dr. Matthew Carmody, and Dr. Leslyn Keith. https://www.lympha-press.com/blog/ CurvyGirl Beth Lipedema videos https://www.facebook.com/pg/Curvygirlbeth/videos/?ref=page_interna Lipedema Foundation Brochures: https://www.lipedema.org/resources Carol's Petition for Insurance Companies to cover lipedema treatment: https://www.change.org/p/blue-cross-blue-shield-insurance-companies-need-to-cover-liposuction-for-lipedema-other-medical-needs Carol's Blog: fucklipedema.com Carol Nogueira on Medium: https://medium.com/@thecarolnogueiraSpotlight Lipedema MusicIntro Music "Walk in the Park," Bumper Music "Folk Bed" and Closing Music "In the Field" all courtesy of Jason Shaw at Audionautix - https://audionautix.com/index.php
