You are not alone. You have been an inspiration to so many of us. I am sure there is light at the end of the tunnel. I wish I could give you a big warm hug. Sending lots of love your way. You are standing up for women. You are educating people about Lipedema. You are changing this world already. Don't feel disheartened because of a few men. There are plenty of women who love you and support you - you will get the funds for the surgery and you will come out stronger. Love.
