Hello there!

Let me start off by introducing myself. My name is Katie and I received an official diagnosis of Lipoedema at the end of 2020.

What is Lipoedema I hear you wonder??

In short, it’s fat. Abnormal fat. 

Lipoedema Australia describes it as “a painful hereditary disorder, typically it leads to a pattern of adipose tissue (fat) accumulation from the hips to the ankles, arms and often other parts of the body. Lipoedema may be found in women of all shapes and sizes.” See https://www.lipoedemaaustralia.com.au for more information.
