Hi, I'm Bev. In 2014, I was diagnosed with Lipedema, a genetic disease I'd never heard about before. This is my journey as I manage and live with a health condition that not only affects your body, but your psyche as well. The purpose of this blog is to help others learn about Lipedema. In addition, I hope to offer support and encouragement to other women who are suffering from this rare, incurable disease.

Meloxicam -- can this anti-inflammatory help with Lipoedema (Lipedema) inflammation as well?
I too have lipedema. I had a prescription for meloxicam before being diagnosed with lipedema. I only used the meloxicam on occasion. I decided to refill the prescription as it was due to expire. The pharmacist advised to use with caution if i still had edema issues. I too had tried the water pill with no affect. I am lucky enough to have a doctor that has experience with lipedema so i asked at my next appointment. He advised its was ok to use on occasion, not for regular use. My original meloxicam rx was 30 pills and i had taken maybe 15 over the course of a year for my knee that flared on occasion.
