Avatar m tn //www.webmd.com/mental-health/eating-disorders/anorexia-nervosa/mental-health-anorexia-nervosa#1. Diagnosis of eating disorders requires you to step outside of it and ask for help. The best place to start may be to have a physical and express your eating practices and concerns over your weight at that time. If your physician agrees you have an unhealth relationship with food, they may suggest the next step for help.
Avatar n tn I've been trying to find out how long someone can live with anorexia/bulimia, but can't find anything. I guess it really depends on the individual, but there's not even a range given. Any ideas? A little background: I've had anorexia for 14 years and bulimia for 2. I've been very fortunate in not having any serious medical complications, however in the last 3 years my eating disorder has become my entire life.
Avatar f tn Young women who are really thin (like with anorexia) can have it happen too, as well as women who have a super low amount of body fat because they are athletes. If your period is a no-show for, say, six months, you might get a checkup from your ob/gyn and see what's happening with your hormone levels.
Avatar m tn Is she scared to gain weight? Is she obsessive about her body? If so, these are signs of anorexia nervosa. Sometimes when someone doesn't eat for a while the stomach gets smaller and a person can feel full faster. This can happen even for a person who does not show signs of or have an eating disorder. Is the reason she hasn't been eating much lately because she feels sick, or does she feel sick because she hasn't been eating much lately?
Avatar f tn I think it was signs of anorexia. Did you do this because you thought you were overweight? Or did you do it only because you felt uncomfortable eating in front of the other people?

Avatar f tn i keep having hypos without any warning signs. on the off chance i have tested my bm and it been 2-3. i have reduced my insulin but still have them. why arnt there any warning signs like the usual ones i used to get like for example light headed.
Avatar f tn Are there any signs you get a week or two before you go into labour or just it just happen?
Avatar f tn the area that surrounds my nipples were darkened.....dr said due to hormone levels....that was one of my first signs! Good luck!
Avatar f tn The reason for my postis not to sscare but to educate others about the seriousness of the disease and highlight the warning signs. For a disease so common (according to my research) I think I was failed by my gynae. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame her but I am now telling u what she shud have told me; which is: SWELLING IS EXPECTED IN PREGNANCY. HOWEVER, IF U SWELL IN THE HANDS AND FACE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET UR URINE TESTED FOR PROTEIN TRACES AND UR BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKED.
Avatar f tn To get to the point, I've had an eating disorder for a few years, since I was almost 11, and now I'm 15. It's varied from anorexia to bulimia, but these past few years its centered around binging and purging. For the past few months, I've found blood in my vomit. Its a dark brown and it resembles coffee grounds. I've also been having sharp pains in my abdominal and chest, which usually don't last long at all. Lately, though, the chest pains have been lingering.
9674222 tn?1405209253 I guess maybe i am scaring others off because i have an eating disorder but it is just easier to talk to with people that have suffered from anorexia and i have had some signs of bullemia. I guess time time will tell.

Avatar f tn I do eat, but not a lot. What is the ideal weight for a female my age at my height? And what are the signs and symptoms of anorexia? How do I know if I am?
Avatar m tn Hello. I'm new and terrified for a friend who says she's been diagnosed with Lyme disease. At first, I had no reason to believe otherwise. However, I'm not sure now. She has lost an extreme amount of weight. A couple of years ago when this all began, she was losing weight quickly and couldn't eat anything unless it was pureed. Without going into all the details, she presented all the signs of anorexia and still does.

Avatar f tn I am 15 have been suffering anorexia for 5 years and it has been the cause of depression and horrific low points in my life. I have been admitted to hospital twice and thought I managed to get over my disorder but it keeps coming back. I really don't want to have to experience it again but I don't think I can stop it from consuming me! I want to get on with my life, and I almost feel I've wasted it. Will I ever get over this?
Avatar f tn she is so sick florena, im scared for her, she is being seen at the eating disorders unit and also of course diabetes dept, they are warning that admission to the edu is looking more likely. she sees dieticians regularly, understands the principles but cant seem to apply them, she is now pale very thin and has oral thrush she is so run down.
