Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2018"I was so excited to receive my copy of Kathleen's book that I had ordered!! I dug into it right away. I was diagnosed with Lipedema in February 2017. My whole life changed. Although I always knew something was wrong, after going to MANY doctors my whole life, and coming out defeated, ridiculed for not trying hard enough, and still no answers to my problems, this book right here gives us the answers. Kathleen has put much research and compiling information into her book. I have written notes and underlined all pertinent information concerning my condition, this way, I can take it along with me to doctors appointments just in case I have to deal with a doctor that is clueless to Lipedema. The way the book is designed makes that easy to do. "
"Wonderfully written and illustrated guide for the health professional looking to learn how to help patients with this disease. If you suspect you have lipedema and need to educate your physician and others on your health care team, this book is head and shoulders above the alternative of handing your doctor a file of research articles. Lipedema - The Disease They Call FAT is a perfect conversation starter and hopefully it will help to get you the medical treatment you deserve."
