About The Society

The Dercum Society was founded by Heather Lawver, herself a sufferer of the disease. The Society is an informal gathering of Dercum’s patients, their families, and doctors, dedicated to making scientific information about the condition more readily available to the general public. We do not solicit nor accept donations.
