Celebrating 100,000 blog views


By Maggie McCarey, Stefanie Gwinn-Vega, Christina Williams Routon & Tatjana van der Krabben

We’ve been posting on social media about a surprise, and to us it truly is. We certainly have been looking forward to this moment, guessing what day it would happen. And here it is!

In November 2012 we started the LIPESE blog with this blog post:
My Experience - MLD (Manual Lymph Drainage) and Compression Therapy


 
3 years and almost 100 blog posts later we have hit 100,000 blog views! Early Christmas morning, no less.

Thank you for reading the LIPESE lipedema blog

Not even in our wildest dreams did we anticipate our blog to be this well-read, or that we would write this many blog posts. It has proven to be a valuable platform to spread realistic information about lipedema and lipedema treatment. It has proven its worth particularly for those living in corners of the world where there is no expert help present, or for those unable to travel to the conferences to hear about the latest research, or those who can’t afford to see an informed specialist. We sincerely hope it will continue to be that little light out there.

Giveaway to celebrate 100,000 blog views

To celebrate this milestone of 100,000 blog views we are giving away 10 copies of Tatjana’s ebook Welcome… which will appear January 2016. Part of the proceeds of this book will go towards lipedema research. For Lipese it will hopefully mark the start of supporting significant lipedema research financially.

If you would like to win a copy of Welcome…, you can enter by leaving your name in comments. On January 12, 2016 we’ll draw the winners!

  8. Incredibly valuable site, it and the fb blog have helped me more than I can say, though I don't participate much. Thank you so much, 100,000 views, so brilliant!!

  9. Congrats! I usually read by RSS-feed, so my views probably don't count because I don't visit the site (or do they because my feed reader downloads the new posts? I don't know how that works). Anyways, I'm an avid reader and would like to use this opportunity to thank you for all your work and sharing your sometimes very personal stories. Thank you!
