@ellenbret, you may wish to contact Mayo Clinic in Phoenix to inquire. Here is more information about treating lipomas and care at Mayo Clinic.

To find out more, you can contact Mayo Clinic either online or by phone. See details here http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
Is this the new drug you're referring to (CBL-514)?

Hi Colleen,
I have contacted Mayo clinic for help with Dercum's but they told me it is red target which means they have no treatment for the disease. The only place I know of for specific treatment for Dercum's is in Touscon. Dr. Karen Herbst. I am trying to get approval from insurance to see her. It is a long way for me but I feel it may be worth the trip to see her.

Yes, that's the article I'm referring to. I sure hope it makes it through trials and available soon!
