In the last 15 years of my life, I have battled with Lyme's Disease and Dercum's. In that time I have learned a few things (mostly the hard way) and I am still learning. Here are just 10 things that I would like to share at this time:
THE MYTH: Only overweight, postmenopausal women have Dercum's Disease. THE TRUTH: Anyone can have it. Both men and women have been diagnosed with DD. A person with Dercum's is not necessarily overweight and some patients have developed symptoms as early as their adolescent years. If you have painful lumps, you may have Dercum's Disease.
Thank you for posting.I am doing a board in Pinterest about fibromyalgia and I added the DD.Doctors always said that I have angiomiolipomas and lipomatose dolorosa(With pain,it means).But what they never saw is someone with so many diseases as me,so some of them tell me I must have a little bit of hypocondriac condition.....well ..no coments...
